the power of yes

Nice to see that our  yes (we are open) sign has had such pervasive influence in the area -  after 6 years, the yes has travelled! These two murals are done along the 80ft side walls of the tunnel (under the BQE) next to the York St F station.

as it was for 7 years - now no longer out front. spring is now open by appointment.

Sagmeister and Walsh collaborated with renowned Japanese illustrator Yuko Shimiza and created two large typographic messages to sit on the facing walls - both hand painted by Coby Kennedy.

I'm sure there's something throwaway to be said about this one - I'm just not quite sure what it is
