Logan could not immediately be reached for comment.
Despite its simplicity, most drivers who pass the sign will not get the message.
In October, the band held “Weezerween,” in which the group challenged fans to create Weezer-themed jack-o’-lanterns. Winners, the band said at the time, would win their “very own billboard somewhere in America.” The band announced the winners of the contest in November, giving the gold to New Jersey’s Logan and Caroline from Wisconsin. As of this weekend, Weezer made good on the billboard promise.
Logan’s billboard, though, isn’t the band’s first foray into roadside signage. In October, Weezer bought a billboard near Salt Lake City as a thank you to a fan who had bought a billboard in June that consisted only of the band’s name in black Comic Sans text on a white background.
Weezer’s billboard response went up down the road from the fan’s initial message, and read “Thanks to whoever bought the billboard down the road. — Weezer.” It, too, was a white background with black Comic Sans font.
“They’re a great band,” Cory Hunter Winn, the fan who bought the initial Utah billboard, told the Salt Lake Tribune. “They’re the all-time greatest, as far as I’m concerned.”
Founded in 1992, Weezer has become known for hits such as “My Name Is Jonas,” “Buddy Holly” and “Beverly Hills.” Their latest EP, “SZNZ: Winter,” was released last week.
