Deerfield Dry Cleaner Sign Nixed with Comparison to Trump

CD One Price Cleaners won't get the sign it wants, with trustees comparing it to Donald Trump's much-maligned sign in Chicago.

It’s a tough time to be advocating for big signs, it seems.

Citing the backlash against Donald Trump’s large-lettered sign on his downtown skyscraper — as well as an incongruity with local ordinances — the Deerfield Village Board shot down a request for proposed signs at the new CD One Price Cleaners, TribLocal reports.

The owners had been denied their signs already by the Appearance Review Commission and appealed to the Village Board, TribLocal reports. But that body also nixed the signs, which are not in keeping with village zoning and appearance codes. The discussion cited Trump’s sign, calling the CD One Price Cleaners request a similar issue “on a much smaller scale.”
