This sign was located in the parking floor of a mall in Espoo, Finland. It is a large red arrow sticker with the text "Nearest bottle return.", signaling that up ahead is the bottle return area.
What made this sign interesting for us was the context; there are some sturdy signs in the ceiling telling that the bottle recycling point is up ahead. So this arrow sign, which is a later addition and made from less durable materials1, not only indexes the bottle return area, but signals the fact that the original signage was insufficient.

Note the slightly frayed edge. A few weeks later the sign was already been badly torn, and a week from that it was gone. ↩
