# Literal Literary Genre Posters The Princehat Bookstore Signs are Chic and Beautiful By Jennifer Gosnell | Published 2012-06-29 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/princehat-bookstore-signs References: [princehat.se](http://www.princehat.se/categorysignage2.html) If you've ever wandered through a bookstore or library and desperately tried to find a too-small-print sign that shows what you're looking for, these Princehat Bookstore Signs are simply a great idea. In bright, bold colors with a big display, these straightforward yet beautifully designed signs are a great way to find what you're looking for fast. As well, they would be a lovely addition to any library -- they clearly represent their genres and are made to be a lovely piece of art. The 'Crime' sign looks like a scene out of a crime novel, the 'Greeting card' has a clear representation of a greeting card and the 'Kids' section prominently features a young child. Rather than having nondescript, hidden, tiny signs, bookstores should follow in the path of Princehat and go for the literary gold with these signs. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Visible Genre Signs:** Opportunity for bookstores and libraries to create visible, genre-specific signs for easier navigation and aesthetic appeal. - **Bold and Beautiful Designs:** Opportunity for businesses to create visually appealing signage that serves a functional purpose as well. - **Artistic Representation of Genres:** Opportunity for artists and designers to create genre-specific artwork that can be used as signage in bookstores and libraries. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Bookstores:** Opportunity for bookstores to enhance the customer experience through visually appealing and genre-specific signage. - **Libraries:** Opportunity for libraries to improve navigation and create a visually appealing environment through genre-specific signage. - **Art and Design:** Opportunity for artists and designers to collaborate with bookstores and libraries to create genre-specific artwork for signage. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cheekily Creative Bookmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illustrated-bookmarks.md) - [Customizable Book Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lagom-collection1.md) - [Library Literature Merchandise](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toronto-public-library-1.md) - [Book-Themed Plush Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/punchkins-book-plushies.md) - [Literature-Inspired Packaging Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/good-to-read.md) - [Modern Bookworm-Inspired Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/book-club-collection.md) - [Functional Bookworm-Inspired Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/book-club-tote.md) - [Detailed Ceramic Book Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biblio-bloom.md) - [Bookshelf Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookshelf-board-game.md)
