[LM_NET] Vocabulary term needed

[Troy Hand <troy_of_coney@YAHOO.COM>]

Hi folks!
   
  I have a summer school teacher that wants to have her students design a colonial 
shop for a summer school gifted cluster assignment.  She asked me if I knew what we 
call one of the old-time signs that would hang outside the shops that only has a 
picture on it to let customers know what is inside.  For instance, a sign shaped 
like a pig outside of the butcher's shop.  Does anyone have any idea?  She wants to 
use the correct terminology.  I used to know what they were called, but I guess my 
summer brain has already kicked in.  Any help you can offer would be appreciated.
