The public signage which always made me chuckle was the one for "tourist information" used in some of the cities I've visited.
The sign is a big question mark with an arrow pointing off in some direction.
I actually had to follow one of them to figure out what the heck it was all about, and found myself up the street standing in front of a tourist information bureau, thinking, "Ah. But golly, that's hardly intuitive!"
All of the tourist information centers in Australian cities (as far as I know) are indicated by an italic i in some serif font or other. Useful for tourists if they ever bother to find out what that funny i thing means.

They should have written the sign in braille, too, so blind people could read it.
