Magazine Signal with the subtitle "International Review of Signalist Research" was the periodical of Signalism, international avant-garde creative movement. The magazine was founded in 1970 in Belgrade.[1] Founder and editor-in-chief was Miroljub Todorović.

The movement was significantly boosted by the magazine, publishing multilingual works of neo avant-garde poets, fiction writers, essayists and visual artists from Europe, North and South America, Japan and Australia.

Nine issues of Signal appeared between 1970 and 1973,[2] presenting a number of domestic and international artists, as well as printing bibliographical data about the avant-garde publications all around the world. From 1973 until 1995 magazine could not be published, mainly for financial reasons.

From 1995 to 2004 another 21 issues of Signal appeared.[3] The new release of Signal revitalized the Signalist movement and brought numerous young artists into the movement in 21st century.
