...depending on who you are, you may see nothing wrong with it at all. For instance, what better way to employ a pop-out then as an OPEN sign. Perfectly logical. And Volcom signs are a great way to lure in customers because it is such an appealing brand to so many kids. You know, "Youth Against Establishment" although as someone said: "...Everything is fine except for the hypocrisy of their mantra: Youth against establishment doesn’t go very well with going public on the stock exchange, stock options, company cars and credit cards, etc…" More on that here.
It all seems good so far, unless your a member of the Sand Dollar Social Club Law Athenaeum (SDSCLA for short) or you got that memo from Folly Beach Schity Hall last month. Besides the ridiculous statement on that banner, it is in violation of the City of Folly Beach code 154.086, Section D as follows below:
§ 154.086 PROHIBITED SIGNS.
(A) No sign displaying intermittent lights resembling the flashing lights customarily used in traffic signals or in police, fire, ambulance or rescue vehicles shall be permitted, nor shall any sign use the words “stop,” “danger” or any other word, phrase, symbol or character in a manner that might mislead or confuse an automobile or other vehicular driver.
(B) Except as herein provided, no sign whatsoever, whether temporary or permanent, except traffic signs and signals and information signs erected by a public agency, is permitted within any street or highway right-of-way.
(C) Signs painted on or attached to trees, fence post and telephone or other utility poles or signs painted on or attached to rocks or other natural features or painted on the roofs of buildings are prohibited.
(D) Fluttering ribbons and banners and similar devices are prohibited, except the flags of governments and their agencies.
(E) Signs in the marsh or signs interrupting the vista of the marsh are prohibited. (What about the all the condos? Talk about interrupting the vista.)
(F) Due to their exposure to the forces of wind, roof signs of any type shall be prohibited.
(G) No exterior signs, which are strobing or flashing, or signs utilizing direct or reflected light to form letters, symbols, or forms including fiber optic shall be permitted in any zoning district.
I'm afraid that's a code violation. Sir, step out the car.

While I can't argue your point, I must say sometimes you have way too much time on your hands!!!
I know. But I had to psych myself up to tackle my backlog of ding repair boards.
