And then a new signboard is set for a new tenant. - or space left empty. It's not entirely because of the pandemic but makes it worse. If I visit the place in the photograph again, I could recognize the change immediately. Some signboards have gone, some others are new.
It is very colorful, complicated, noticeable. But if you always use bright colors for it, however, nobody will be conspicuous because there are already too many colors.
