Tangentially related, NY has been building regional welcome centers across the state, like this one in Geneva. They don't have state welcome signage in the traditional sense, but they are marketed as New York State Welcome Centers.

More like built, rather than building.

True answer: the Google office in Boulder, CO has a retired Colorado welcome sign in a common area. The sign previously welcomed drivers crossing I-70 from Kansas. (Aside, I find it ironic that the sign is all brown but says "Welcome to Colorful Colorado".

At one time, they used various colored letters for the word Colorado (I saw a color picture of one).   Not sure if that was a statewide standard at the borders or only at major border crossings, or how long it lasted
