I'm a sucker for #Signs in general, especially #MidcenturyModern #Vintage signs. #SignSpotting a couple of months ago and found The Tropicale, in #Downtown #PalmSprings
#SignJunkie #SignGeek #Midcentury

"Tropicale" sign in turquoise script, tilted at angle from low to high, left to right, against a bright pink stucco wall. Below the sign is a bright green trimmed hedge.

Garden of Eden, North Beach, San Francisco.

A park district sign for a hiking trail from "The County of Union New Jersey," with a glass cover and a tackboard inside. The tackboard has several paper flyers tacked on it, and the words "Take only photos... Leave only footprints... Kill only Tim. Please stay on the trails."

[The silent E is missing from "kill only time," so yes, it really does say "Tim."]

Restored #Vintage Phillips 66 gas station in the tiny town of Steptoe, Washington, photographed during a 2019 road trip. As of last year when I drove through there again it was gone. Its cheery bright orange beckoned us to stop.

Vintage Phillips 66 Gas Station restored to bright colors of orange, black, and white. Two restored vintage gas pumps stand on a concrete island painted bright white with orange trim. Behind them, a cinder block building with orange and black signs that say "Classic Phillips 66, Steptoe, WA, Trop Artic Motor Oil, Mechanic on Duty, 24-hour towing service." Two vintage pickup trucks, one red and the other black, red, and silver. An American flag flies on the building's roof against a blue sky with fluffy white clouds.

#Vintage 7-UP sign spotted in St. John, Washington (population 600) during a 2019 road trip.

Vintage plastic 7-Up sign attached to a cinder block building. The top portion says 7-UP in letter made of white dots with a rainbow background also made of dots. The bottom portion says Cafe in faded black block letters with a bright green background.

This sign just radiates fun.

A business sign for an auto shop. It reads, "Joe's Radiator: A Great Place to Take a Leak."

Bachelor's Flat sign spotted during a 2018 trip to San Diego. This font remains one of my favorites to this day. #Typography #Signs #SignSpotting #SignGeek #Retro #Vintage #SignJunkie #Midcentury

Backlit sign attached to a pinkish stucco building that says "Bachelors Flat" in a very swanky, 1960s style teal font.

The Corner Club, established in 1948, is a dive bar in Moscow, Idaho. Its classic midcentury neon sign still calls you in to have a cold one.
#Neon #Signs #Signspotting #SignGeek #SignJunkie #DiveBar #Idaho #Midcentury #MidcenturyModern #SmallTown

Classic midcentury neon sign against a blue sky with white fluffy clouds. The sign is black, with yellow neon block letters that say Corner Club. There is a backwards J-shaped neon piece to the right.

Roto-sphere "Sputnik" sign at Joe's Liquors in Memphis, TN. According to the Roadside Architecture website, "Roto-Sphere signs are perhaps the biggest and most dramatic neon signs ever mass-produced. They were created and produced by Warren Milks from 1960-1971. Milks made approximately 234 of them at his sign shop in Bossier City, LA. Only about 20 Roto-Spheres are left. Of these, only four are fully operational (Memphis, Lakeland, Whiteland, and Salt Lake City). Only 9 are still on public display...Not only does the sign rotate on its pole, but the ball itself is composed of two counter-rotating hemispheres."

I took this photo in 2016 on my trip to Memphis to visit family and to attend Gonerfest 13, a punk rock/garage rock music festival run by Goner Records.

Roto-sphere neon sign against a blue sky. The sign has a large central sphere with large neon spikes radiating from it. Below the sphere is a large yellow neon arrow pointing right, and below that is a digital readerboard that says "Gonerfest XIII", Memphis, TN, September 29 to October 2.

A neon "open" sign in large block letters with a neon sign below it in bright blue cursive that says "feel free". The signs are hanging in a window behind a black metal grate.

Billy Burgers neon sign in Wilbur, WA.

Billy Burgers sign in Wilbur, WA. The sign is neon with an arrow pointing leftward. The smiling boys face is a bit creepy with upturned nose and bright red lips. Beneath the sign is a single wooden picnic table at the roadside.

I need a bumper sticker that says "I break for vintage signs." These 1970s 7-Up signs can be a rarity to spot these days. I found one in the small town of Hartline, WA on a recent road trip.

Vintage 7-Up sign with bright colored rainbow and flowers that says the name of the town "Hartline" on it.

Looks like somebody failed basic geometry. 🤣

Pre-dawn view of a very large sign in the corner of a shopping center, illuminated by spotlights on the ground front and back that stands like a segmented tan sandstone doorway, over 30 feet tall. It has a rectangular—repeat: *rectangular*— blue-green insert with a thin tan border filling the top half of the arch like the upper panel of a so-called dutch farmdoor. The sign reads in italic, tan letters “Perinton Square Mall.” Repeat: “Perinton *Square* Mall.”

@ihazrabies Was in Brussels back in September, and although it wasn't strictly a sign spotting trip, I snapped a few that can be seen at the end of this post: https://bl.ag/sign-painting-in-the-sun-benelux-letterheads-2023/

These definitely aren't the best the city has to offer, but you'll see lots wherever you go.

Every time I go past this drive-thru window at a local Burger King, it just strikes me as funny. It doesn't say, "Continue to other window," or "Please pay at next window," or anything like that.

It just says, "The other window."

But if this is "the other window," then shouldn't I have driven past a *first* window earlier? (There is no earlier window.)

My editorial OCD is so set off by this. 😂
