Acorn Sign (Toronto)

6/11/2019

 
The “acorn” street sign (as shown below) was first introduced on the streets of Toronto during the 1950s. Since the mid-2000s, these acorn signs have been gradually replaced by a newer generation of signages.
  • The design below is inspired by the remaining "rainbow" street signs found in the Church-Wellesley Village, Toronto. This region's postal code begins with "M4Y".
