I am one of the vanishing breed who still remembers the ‘Walk’ and ‘Don’t Walk’ signs that used to populate the corners in NYC. I understand the logos that replaced the words on these signs have also undergone evolutionary change since the ones I knew when I lived there.

I encountered an equivalent, yet modern version of Walk/Don’t Walk sign just the other day, a combination of word and icon. Since the element of time is involved, I show two photographs separated by minutes.
