Getting to see my absolute favorite performing artist live at Wembley Stadium was truly a blessing that I never expected. Ed Sheeran made history as the only artist that would be performing solo, entertaining an entire stadium that can hold 80,000 people for three sold out nights in a row. I was able to make it to the first night of the tour and also treated myself to a souvenir flag. Considering the fact that all Ed had was his voice, his guitar, and a loop pedal and still managed to entertain everyone for two hours straight, it just truly spoke to his talent. He performed songs from his two most recent albums, the ones that were released widely: + and X. Now what I personally love about these are that the way you read the symbols is 'Plus' and 'Multiply'. They're so simple and yet you can tell they're part of a series, part of Ed's growing repertoire of music.
Wembley Stadium was lit up green, the same color as the X album cover and was just painted with X's. I consider this an example of signage as it shows Ed's album that spent weeks at the No. 1 spot, with nothing more than a simple combination of a symbol and color. My flag only had the same symbol, though it does add 'Ed Sheeran' for good measure just in case. It's simple yet effective and it means so much to thousands of people, as shown by the fact that so many people went to go see this one person perform.
