    No, the new sign is not similar to the original.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Shapes are similar when each pair of corresponding sides in the two shapes have the same scale factor.

    The scale factor is found when you divide a side on one shape with the corresponding side on the other shape.

    Use a mock situation:

    A rectangle is 6 X 8.

    The new rectangle, added 6 to each side, is 12 X 14.

    See if the scale factor is the same.

    12 : 6 = 2

    14 : 8 = 1.75

    Since the scale factors, which determine how much a shape grows or shrinks, are not the same, the new sign would not be similar.
