New CT border signs

[Fairfield_1st]

My son sent me a Pic (the one attached) and then I found one online. Love them.

Apparent there are 4 different ones.

I feel like it shouldn’t say “Home Of” it should just say “The Basketball Capital of the World”

 

[Icehawk]

Which one is supposedly the foodie capitol?

I suppose this is as good a place as any to comment on CT renumbering exits on all the state highways. Rt. 8 is being done next week, which will surely cause confusion among already non-attentive drivers.

Somebody was trying too hard. And why are there two Cs Connecticut?

That’s a federal initiative. All highways when needing sign replacements need to adopt mileage markings for exit numbers.

Here in Vermont there was so much pushback for doing this that they left the exit number signs but attached a small mile marker sign to the exit number signs. People have nothing to do except come up with dumb ideas to prove how important they are to the rest of us.

I didn't know about this "Make It Here" marketing effort. Apparently the new logo is a C with a T.

"In its place is a new symbol: a stylized and circular letter “C,” whose negative space appears to be a letter “T.”"

It still looks stupid. They can fill the negative space however they want - only one "C" is needed to spell Connecticut. I seriously, don't think anybody explained branding to whoever made those signs.

'What did you change? Looks exactly like what I typed.

The foodie capital of New England?

 

[dennismenace]

Reminds me of the bumper sticker:

"Will the last one to leave CT please shut off the lights"

2 c's in CT, 2nd is red.

Brain cramp. There are actually 3 c’s.

Before the ubiquity of GPS I was 100% in favor of this move. Now it probably doesn't matter, but I still think it makes sense. If I get on exit 1 and I need to go to exit 20, I know it's about 20 miles and 20 minutes if I'm lucky lol

Wish they would put the Basketball Capital of the World at EVERY entry point in the state, and at each train station on the Metro North line

Four counting the branded C.

Good Lord I mockingly posted a Cincinnati sign a few weeks ago that did something similar and now Cconnecticut does almost the same exact thing. At least the Cincy one you put outside your home for just your neighbors to see…

The signmaker stuttered. Give him a break.

Yeah it looks really weird

It is a little quirky. That said Connecticut isn't the quote basketball capital of the world" Storrs is.

Sorry Phil, you're not really selling the whole pizza thing with that sorry looking slice of Ellio's.

Not enough help Tom.

Yeah, it's more than a little embarrassing that that is my governor.

I don't get the big deal with pizza. To me it's a mediocre food at best. What's next? Fast food capital?
