How Do I Sign Mr. Shineyhead's Brand Name Correctly

0.4 CEUs, PS

This workshop uses the Deaf community signs for brand names (can include local, regional, and nationwide). We will show and explain why we use the signs for brand names by nature, pictures of logos, habits, cultures, etc. Creates the knowledge needed to avoid being stuck without an idea of what sign to use for a brand name, or using too much fingerspelling without visual language. Example: Cirque Du Soleil’s sign like “Circus Tent + Sun” in French. This information make it clear and avoid unnecessary misunderstanding in parts of ASL.
