why do pharmacies have these signs with whacky animations?

I've seen these all over Europe. Some have simple images of the cross flashing, some have windows screensaver esque animations, and some have 3d renders of various things rotating in all sorts of ways. Why is that? Wouldn't a simple green cross be enough to get the point across, or do they need to be overly verbose? Here's the full video instead of a gif

In my country, flashing lights for stores are outright banned, because it might trigger epilepsy seizures. Seeing a pharmacy out of all places using it feels very weird.

That's what I thought too. But lo and behold

LMAO the part where it just starts displaying a bunch of pills flying at the screen

There's a guy who bought 3 of this and set them as the lights for a rave at a venue, was pretty funny

Also now that I think of it, has anyone played bad apple on one of those?

Haven't seen it done, but it's just a matter of time

Hahaha I've seen some of those animations in their natural habitats
