How does this letter-form communicate its location?

Loud, overstated and unique, this piece of lettering stands out at the main entrance to the town. The name of this pub itself already feels like it is showing off, and this is matched by the signage. The choice of bright orange grabs attention, and I like the way it plays with 3D, with flourishes on the other words. Not only does it give an impression of the pub as being somewhere with character, but it does the same thing for the town in which it sits.
