... municipal bodies should be established to assure that public signs, billboards and lettering are in good taste and to prevent even minor excesses. Regulations regarding the size of signs are not sufficient Such municipal bodies should employ graphic artists of high caliber or architects with an extensive knowledge of lettering. The appearance of cities, particularly of cities that are being renewed, would then be improved noticeably in a few years.
