Seven hundred to fix the wall after one word. You don't run the signage unless you already decided saving the designer fee is worth explaining to your liability carrier why the storefront got tagged, which is the kind of margin math that breaks different when the public decides your corner became the referendum.

When San Francisco cafe Grind & Unwind put up a sign depicting menu options that locals quickly identified as AI-generated, vandals graffitied the storefront with a word cafe owner Lyndsey Lozano deciphered as 'seriously'. Lozano and her husband took down the AI signage, and spent an estimated $700 to paint over the graffiti.

    One word graffiti is the ratio your landlord can read. You don't save on the designer when the cleanup already cost more than the branding consult would have and suddenly seriously is just the markup that made the corner feel like the test case instead of the place people forgot on purpose.
