Post a photo of exit-style signage which only contains a business name.

My example will be this sign for the Manulife (insurance) building on King St just before Hwy 85 in Waterloo, ON. The sign only says Manulife, and it resembles a gore exit sign.

I knew this would be more challenging, but I'm hoping to see a few examples (besides, yesterday's challenge was fairly easy). I didn't realize it was the equinox until I heard it on the radio on the way to work. :-/

I guess I should have said employer, but this is the type of sign I was getting at. What highway is this on?

I suppose this could count. Sign for the New Hampshire Liquor Store along I-95 northbound near Hampton.

Minding our business is their business, but ideally....it's none of their business, and that should be their business model.

Looks like I have some examples for today.  I was even able to avoid "Springs" and "Springfield" which appear to be much more common.

Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania, from US 222 near Reading.  May 20, 2005.
