Cent Signs Observed Downtown San Diego and in Hilcrest

I have observed these spray painted black signs in a wide variety of places downtown and in Hillcrest. I didn't have my camera while I was in Hillcrest and my camera phone was out of juice so I don't have any shots of those but there were several on First Avenue between Ash and Upas. The first picture is of a large cent sign on a blue traffic signal box in front of 101 Market Street.

This cent sign was painted on the USA Today newspaper machine. This machine is across from the breakfast restaurant, Cafe 202.

These three "C"'s are on the wall of Ralph's at 101 G Street. I wonder if they are the work of the same artist and if they are intentional variation or whether the artist was interrupted.
