Corinne Carlson Billboards various locations (from 2000 on)
via Jennifer McMackon in big RED & Shiny
And from Kim Fullerton writing in Xtra: "Corinne Carlson’s swanky billboard — reading "Baa?" — made of sequin-like reflective disks that sparkled and cavorted in the wind and the rain. Part of Logo City at Blackwood Gallery, Baa? teased us with an incomprehensible question and the promise of an answer like Pizza Pizza could never deliver."
I'd like a dress made outta that!
The use of sequins on signs goes back a long way- they were popular around the turn of the (last) century, but fell out of fashion when neon became popular in the '20s and '30s. Doing a little googling, I found this sign:

was originally done in sequins.
Here 'tis.
