The Pictorial Guide and other examples coming through are great! Thanks so much for replying all!
We are currently debating whether the mural can include images of what the business sells. Interesting there are some answers from both sides.
I’d love to hear more examples from those that allow images related to the business and if you have any reasoning behind it.
And of course any more examples that don’t allow them are also appreciated.

Hi Jeff
We have a pretty active mural program in West Hollywood with an
established review of mural applications through the Arts and Cultural Affairs Commission. May help to beef up your guidelines and/or definition of a mural to give applicants some clear parameters about what is/is not allowed.
We tend to have issues with the desire to include hashtags and/or logos as part of the mural signature. The hashtags that we encounter skew towards commercial signage. We are currently undergoing a review of
our guidelines to include parameters about allowable social media handles and hashtags in the mural identification information/artist signature.

Subject: Signs VS Murals
I know this question is a tough one but here in Charleston we are facing a lot of issues with new mural commissions. Private business owners are commissioning artists to paint murals on their buildings. Some of the design concepts have
included commercial message. Our sign ordinance as it stands does not allow murals to include commercial message and when they do they must conform to size requirements applied to a sign.
I am curious how other city governments handle this issue and what your experience has been.
Thanks
Jeff
