Just wondering everyone's opinion on what signal has the best exterior design, overall. (I guess the back is what is mostly considered.)
Single-face signals specifically; any size, any material. Just best looks.
For me:
#1: Econolite Bullseye (by far)
#2: Econolite Buttonback [Aluminum, 12"]
#3: Marbelite [12"]
What do you think?

I guess on single face signals, an Ornamental Eaglelux would be my pick, but my Novalux is a close second IMO. It's hard to beat a solid body signal for looks.

As a native of New York City, I have always been fond of the 8" and 12" Marbelite traffic signals.

Single-face Crouse-hinds Art Decos, CH Type M 12 inch signals, Walk/Don't Walk pedestrian signals of any kind (except for TSI pedestrian signals), and 12-8-8 Eagle Flat-back signals.
Edit: I forgot to add Durasigs. All generations and both 8 inch and 12 inch.

I am a railfan, signalfan, and I'm interested in tornado sirens. I hope to learn new things about traffic lights because I'm interested in them and don't know much about them.

Intelight and Optisoft gets my vote.
Eagles come next, old and new
Crouse Hinds had the best looking four ways
