Great sign for Johnny’s Market on Gravois Rd. located in St. Louis. Got this great submission from Mr. Nick Blesch of Indianapolis. What a classic style. Really into the $ and the scripty “Johnny’s.”
See what happens, folks, send me a submission and I will definitely use it. Keep ‘em comin!
Taken by my trusty contributor, Jeremy Jacobs, in Attica, Indiana. That lime green with the curve of those lines…man. Even the letters have some great curves.
Greyhound Station located at Third and Sycamore streets, Evansville, IN. This was taken by Mr. Jeremy Jacobs back in 2010. Great Art Deco design going on there.
Located at Main and Hancock, just east of downtown Louisville. One of the few original, old signs left in an area of town where the old buildings are being spruced up with new “old” signs. It’s only a matter of time for this one, too, I’m afraid.
Sorry for the loooong delay folks. I lost my cache of photos and was only able to FINALLY go out to get some more this weekend.
These gems are located on the corner of Goss Ave and Hoertz/George Hauck Pl. in Germantown/Schnitzelburg here in bloomin Louisville, KY. I’m really into the contrast of the thin, more stylized look of the neon on the front of the store with the thicker letters on the hanging sign. Love both of them suckers, though. 100 Years strong for sure.
Found this Concord Bentley bike in a Salvation Army in downtown Fort Wayne, Indiana. The letter work on the chain guard is what initially caught my eye, but the Concord badge is what made me take the photo. Like the lions, love the C. The gold, orange and blue combo isn’t anything to scoff at, either.
Hand lettered vs. Neon. Found on E. Market St. betwixt 3rd and 4th Streets in New Albany, Indiana.
This DeRozier’s sign is hot! I wanna take a drive up to this spot just to look at that thing up close and personal. Hard to tell if it’s hand painted or not. Regardless. Hot. Taken by Jenna Brown in Peru, Indiana.
This is located in New Albany, Indiana, on Main Street. I’ve always like the cut angle of this sign. Liking the type a lot, too. I need to get a closer photo sometime.
The Murphy Elevator Company, Main St., Louisville, KY. Taken last year, I think. I drive by this spot every day but can’t remember if the sign, or the business, is still there. I added a detail of the sign and an old photo from some time of yore of the same spot. Nice to see the similarities and little changes.
