+jhuoni Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I've never tried to link a photo, so I don't know how well this is going to show up. I have run across many business which have tile entryways with the name of the business or former business. Is there a category for this? If so which one is it? If not would it be worth discussing? I don't want to be lead on it, I just want to have a place to put this floor. The photo is from (WMHFCD) Farmers Bank - McCormick, SC - U.S. National Register of Historic Places. It's looking pretty big, wish I knew how to fix that one... Quote Link to comment
+BruceS Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 If it has a picture instead of just words maybe the mosaic category but other than that I don't think so. Quote Link to comment
+silverquill Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I love these. I agree about trying the Mosaic category. Is the building on the National Register of Historic Places? Maybe this is a new category idea. . . . Quote Link to comment
+Chasing Blue Sky Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I've seen a few of these, most of which were at the entrance to older apartment buildings in the downtown area. I was never sure if they fit in the mosaic category. I guess I've just got so many other pictures, that I've never put the work into it, to test whether it would be accepted or not. They are pretty cool, IMHO. Quote Link to comment

Maybe this is a new category idea. . . . You guessed correct, this is the entry at the Farmers Bank, WMHFCD. Now the McCormick Messenger office. I've come across a lot of these over the past few years. Unfortunately since I wasn't really thinking about Waymarking at the time, I don't have pictures or locations. Is it catetory worthy?

GT.US Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I don't see a requirement that the tiles form a picture to be considered a mosaic. From the category description: - the juxtaposition of these pieces form something recognizable (characters, animals, landscapes, forms...) or simply decorate a construction, a statue, a fountain... With Characters being a key word. Quote Link to comment
+jhuoni Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 According to Outspoken1, leader of Mosaics, this is a mosaic. So if you are visiting FARMERS BANK (WMHFCD) now the McCormick Messenger Newspaper, you might want to try to catch them during normal business hours to pick up a two-fer at this site.
