Canada Post redesigns postal boxes
It seems Toronto streets have had some fresh new postal boxes appearing in the last few months. I spotted a couple on Carlton and King and took these quick snaps with my cellphone. I let out a big “Wow!” and had to stop and investigate when I realized the new colorful all-over wrap design with postal codes was meant to discourage taggers and other vandals. I don’t know if it will stop people from postering the boxes but I bet it will deter the marker taggers quite a bit. An impressive design that adds a little flair and color to the streets – and ironically/interestingly is a concept directly influenced by graffiti.
