I went down to Chicago today. Coming back I saw the "Wisconsin welcomes you" sign and it hit me that you can judge a state by it's sign. Which goes against "don't judge a book by its cover." When I've gone from Minnesota to Wisconsin there is the same "timber-looking"/handmade looking welcome sign... it says a lot. I think Minnesota's is very nice and professional looking... it says a lot.
By the way, when searching for these "sign pictures," I found a sweet site where a guy seems to have dedicated his life to taking pictures of "welcome" signs. This guy is a amazing, that's him pictured above. Check out his very informative site here. Google "Welcome to (enter your state here)" and judge your state today.

So what does the timber-looking/handmade-looking welcome sign say about the two states? Given my upbringing on the East Coast, it says "backwoods yokel states" to me. :)
I didn't see a texas one but I have seen one on the border of texas and new mexico and it is WEAK sauce. Just a simple sign. But thats how we texans are, not too flashy or prideful. ha.
what?! the old school sign doesn't say anything about the two states. You can't spread a welcome sign onto to two states, every welcome sign for its own state...
There's some texas signs on this site:
