As Seth recently noted, there can be room for improvement when it comes to making signs (we have too), and he further notes, depending on your approach, it is possible and can be best to have more and less (although not of the same things).
As a late and gentle kick-off for the New Year, and after a long weekend of some pretty amazing NFL football games, here are a few additional thoughts about more and less (no particular order):
Less Single Letter Brands, Especially When it Comes to Equis:

Especially With Effective Non-Verbal Brand Signals:
“Show, don’t tell . . . . the value of design.”
More Naming of Distinctive Product Design Features:
Less Unnecessary Touting of Function Over Form
More Creative Signs That Move Us to Be Better and Engage More
Less Pavlov in Your Hands, Especially During Meals:
More Creative Wifi Passwords:

Here’s to all of us having more amazing collaborations, connections, and relationships in 2017.
