Sign, for example on roofs or facades of commercial buildings, used to identify the business, or promote a product or service. Also used for neon signs (use luminous=*), logos & place signs/institutional entrance signs (like schools, power plants, wastewater treatment plants, landfills, large hospital or university campuses, etc.).

Combinations

• name=* – if the sign is well known enough to have a common name
• inscription=* – the text on the sign
• lit=* – the sign is lit, i.e. lights are positioned to reflect off it making it visible at night
• luminous=* – indicates whether the sign is luminous, i.e. it directly emits some light, rather than just having lights reflected off it.
• animated=* – indicates whether the sign is animated, and the way it is animated.
• material=* – what the sign is made of (stone, metal, etc.)
• location=* – indicates sign position; most common values are:
  • location=roof – placed upon the roof of a building or structure
  • location=surface – placed on the surface of the ground
  • location=wall – fastened to the side (main area) of a wall
