Oakland International Airport (OAK) uses the “I ✈ OAK” rebus as its tagline.
OAK Terminal 2. The image? A mystery to me.
Unfortunately, the parking lot felt the need to get in on the act, too.
I (P) OAK? Honestly, is there anyone in whom that phrase does not bring out an inner 12-year-old?
More “I (P)” on the airport’s website:
See more examples of the “I [Shape] X” rebus on the Snowclones Database. Be sure to read the comments.
UPDATE: Mystery solved! The face-photocopy poster, above, was a runner-up in an Oakland International Airport contest that asked Bay Area residents how they spent the extra hour they saved by flying through Oakland. Thanks to C.J. Hirschfield, executive director of Children's Fairyland in Oakland, for digging up that information. (Note: An hour on face-photocopying? Whatever.)
Is that properly read "I pee OAK" or "I Poak (Poke)"?

If you're a carpenter, then you may well have reason to plane oak from time to time. And if you're a recording artist, then I guess you could ℗ an album called "OAK." But I still don't get where the bit about photocopying your face comes in.
