Our first sign is the best of the lot found so far in the Dominican Republic. Notice the practice of mixing American shapes with European (or local) drawings so often found in Caribbean countries.

The drawing reminds us of the popular common beak of Sarvisé in Spain. There is a slight slide down towards further iconization: the heads are dots already. This is the dot.com age after all.

Impossible to write anything posi­tive about this sign (I did try, really). It is a static scene featuring two misshapen persons: an approach widespread in Latin America (e.g. Chile, Bolivia, Ecuador - sensitive people may need a sedative!).

Notice that both the bookbags are carried at the outside. Between all the countries in the wide region this is a feature shared only with Venezuela.
