From the pictures, it seems like this ban lead to people removing signage from buildings entirely, which I think is pretty inconvenient. When I'm walking down the street, it is helpful to know what stores I am walking past, and have some information about them (ex. the phone number on Ribnits in the before picture). I think a better middle ground is to ban advertising that is not related to the structure the ad is on - that would get rid of a lot of the clutter created by billboards and third-party ads on things like bus stops, while still allowing stores to advertise themselves and what they do to people walking by.
