The material concerning symbols and signs, here presented, is complex in character. The text is not continuous. It consists of explanations of the figures with which it is linked. The symbols stand in relation with one another, creating a network which is difficult to follow in book form. As an aid to exploration of the subject matter, this chart was produced with rows of signs and captions. The mind, however, does not follow the content in linear fashion but moves criss-cross in a pattern which is different for each 'reader'.

Summary:
Thomas E. Rinaldi captures the brilliant glow of surviving early- and mid-twentieth-century neon signs, those iconic elements of the cityscape now in danger of disappearing. This visual tour features two hundred signs, identified by location, with information on their manufacture, date of creation, and the businesses that commissioned them. In a generously illustrated introduction, drawing on documents including rare period trade publications, Rinaldi recounts the development of signage and the technological evolution of neon and examines its role in the streets of New York, in America's cultural identity, and in our collective consciousness. New Yorkers and visitors to the city, neon-sign enthusiasts, and those interested in signs and historic advertising generally, as well as design professionals, serious historians, and casual students of the city, will want this colorful book, which comes at a critical moment when the disappearance of the original signs has inspired a growing interest in neon.

Summary:
Repurposing the sad, comical and seemingly trivial minutiae of everyday life into pie charts, flow charts and other forms of visual data sorting, New York-based artist Andrew Kuo transforms the idlest of days into a witty analysis in color and pattern. The charm of these works lies not only in their balance of what might be called "cool content in geek form," but also in the criteria and gradations they measure. Kuo's obsessive charts, which resemble Op art, Concrete art or the abstractions of Josef Albers have reached a wide audience through his music reviews for The New York Times, as well as through numerous solo shows over the past ten years. What Me Worry adopts Mad magazine's slogan to gently poke fun at the artist's compulsive record-keeping, and compiles a range of charts, some of which are also made into colorful sculptures, alongside figurative paintings, diary musings and a series of recipes.
