Are there any clues in this photo that might help to date it? Or at least place it in a specific decade?

It shows a view inside a sign shop with people gathered round looking at and discussing work-in-progress on a large Kentucky Fried Chicken sign.

I found out that a book I loved is on the Internet Archive so let me share you :

"I could tell you but then you have to be destroyed by me"

Trevor Paglen is an artist and author who works on topics such as military secrecy and mass surveillance.

In this book, he investigates secret program patches financed by the Pentagon, explaining the history of insignia, how to find that information, and the meanings behind each symbol.

Continued thread

A protestor poses with a sign that asks, "Do you really think he cares about you, the country, or the rule of law?"

An image depicts an airplane with text that says, "AMERICA FIRST," but the ME is shown in black, so the message can also be read as, "ME FIRST."

"Trump's Qatari PLANE is just PLAIN corruption."

"STOP THE CORRUPTION."

His sign includes two American flags.

Continued thread

One demonstrator holds a sign that says, "Liberty and Justice for All!"

Her sign includes the American Flag, the Ukrainian Flag, the Intersex Inclusive Progress Pride Flag, the Palestinian flag, and a Rainbow flag that says, "Black Lives Matter."

Another demonstrator holds a sign that says, "Be an American, not a Trumpkin."

His sign includes several small images of pumpkins decorated to look like Donald Trump in an unflattering way.
