Description: Two versions of a commonly used U.S. Forest Service sign ('America Needs Productive Forests') were tested on four adult special-interest groups in Butte County, California. Half the members were shown the regularly used sign; the other half, a modified sign that included the Smokey Bear symbol. Responses to questionnaires by both groups suggested that each sign had a different impact and meaning, and brought out different concepts.
