hand-painted signage power of individuality

And that is what this resurgence of hand-painted signage is about: the
power of individuality.

Seeing the same lettering, the same color schemes, the same type of
signs everywhere we go has made us immune to the sad fact that
uniformity has taken over our cities.

This is never more apparent than when we walk by a shop with carefully
hand-painted signs.

It, almost without fail, will seem like the coolest and most
interesting shop on the street, even before we walk through the door.

Why? Because that store owner took pride in his or her business and
chose to display the individuality that other shops are missing.
