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.). Can be used for "ghost signs", signs for no longer existing or renamed businesses/services.

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
