building and were usually very eye catching. Archaeologists have found signs in
the ruins of ancient Rome and Pompeii which advertised travelers to go to a
tavern situated in another town. In about the 1440's there was an invention of a
movable-type of advertising which was a printing press. In the 16th century some
companies had a trade mark which was a two or three dimensional picture or sign.
