Hi Dale,
thanks so much for your help. I am unsure of what I am looking at though, the link doesn't appear to be working.

Thanks again!
Ash

Sorry Ash. I am mystified. Anyhow, enter "signs and graphics" in OneLook's Reverse Dictionary

Thanks for the site link. It's a great site. Although I am now even more confused! The word 'sign' is a noun, the word 'signage' is a plural for signs.

'Graphics' is a plural noun, But is treated as singular. Its definition is:
"The products of the graphic arts, especially commercial design or illustration."

Therefore, which phrase is correct? There are no results for the phrase 'sign and graphics' OR 'signs and graphics' I am so sorry to be a hindrance, I really appreciate any help I can get.

Just looking at the wikipedia definition for signage, it refers to signage as the design or use of signs and symbols to communicate a message . It also says that signs are any kind of visual graphics created to display information to a particular audience. Therefore, would using the word 'signs' in my phrase be pointless if it comes under graphics anyway?

I'm actually a sign-maker myself but so confused right now. We don't really think about the correct use of these words, but we should. What confuses me is that a large organisation such as the British Signs and Graphics Association is using this grammar, so it must be correct right?

Ash, there should be. I'v e never been refused in the Reverse Dictionary. Maybe you're doing something wrong

Hi Dale,
I figured it out and it searches now. To be honest though, I don't know how it is supposed to help as it just comes up with a list of related words. Perhaps I am being a complete idiot though, I'm not sure!

Yea Ash, using Reverse Dictionary as a last resort I am also often disappointed in the results. You're by no means the idiot; best of luck
