Welcome to Maryland, 2019; New Mexico, 1987; Wyoming, 1983; South Dakota, 2019.
After a year of state welcome signs, the Geographically Yours Merit Awards go to four states with welcome signs that fully capture the spirit of place. Remember: First impressions are lasting impressions. Maryland: Refreshingly colorful, thanks, in part, to its quilt-like flag. New Mexico: Warm and enchanting, a simple mood-setter that captures perfectly the colors of the desert. Wyoming: Perfect combination of graphic and textual elements, and edgy enough to say "Howdy" instead of "Welcome." South Dakota: One way of saying the state should simply be renamed Rushmore. Alas, the welcome signs for New Mexico and Wyoming have gone downhill since these two pictures were taken.
