I don’t know if this is typical for this part of China, or whether is something particular to Guangzhou.
In the mood for a bit of playing around I decided to make a version of the name Guangzhou using some photos I took of the tiles. Using a free font that I found online (made by Fontfabric) I changed the letters into 3D building blocks. Legible? Not so much! Fun? Well I had some, while making this.
