#VintageSign

The Igloo in Wenatchee, Washington, has been locally owned and operated by three generations of the same family since 1944. It's a dive bar known for pull tabs (gambling) and cold drinks. Couldn't resist stopping for a cocktail in there. #DiveBar #Retro #VintageSign #Midcentury #MidcenturyModern #Signgeek #SignJunkie #Washingon
A retro midcentury sign against a blue sky with a large yellow line swooping downward in an s-shape with an arrow at its end pointing leftward. Toward the top of the line is a turquoise blue oval that says "the Igloo." Further down is a red rectangle that says "Meet your friends at the Igloo." Beneath the arrow is a another sign that says "$500 pulltabs. Save gas. Play here. Sunny FM 939."

Past meets present in this Nagoya scene: an age-old workwear shop sign displaying the ravages of time, and a photographer's reflection catching a moment of urban exploration. 🏭📸

過去と現在がこの名古屋の光景で出会います:長年の風雪を感じさせる老舗の作業服店の看板と、都市探索の瞬間を捉えた写真家の反射。🎨🔍

The image presents a quaint storefront with a large, faded sign above it that has suffered from significant paint erosion, lending it a rustic charm. Through the glass front of the store, we can see various items on display, suggesting the shop's commercial history. A photographer is subtly reflected in the glass, adding a layer of narrative about the act of capturing images. The shop and its sign are symbols of the city's working past, standing against the test of time.

While Spring is taking its time making it’s entrance this year, there is still much beauty and delight to be seen and experienced. Yesterday I joined the international motley crew of Photography Utrecht on a lazy wander through the hidden gem filled Tuinwijk neighbourhood in Utrecht.

@gparenti @fembot Your photo made me think of this one I took there in 2013. I was most interested in the sign above the door, but the locked gate forced me into a different, and probably better, framing of the shot.

Painted sign mounted above a double door set within walls of turquoise. This all sits behind a metal gate in a scene of graceful decay.

Ghost sign for Alain Murzeau, Maitre Artisan (furniture maker and interior designer), at 19 Rue du Commerce, 49100 Angers, France.

The business was founded in 1924, and moved here in 1934, perhaps suggesting this is when the sign was painted.

Their shop is still trading at 11 Place Laiterie, 49100 Angers.

The full text of the sign reads:

PEINTURE • PATINE • PAPIER • PEINTS
MOQUETTES • TISSUS • TENDUS

A. MURZEAU

Painted wall sign on a flat white wall on the top floor of a low-rise building. A list of decorating products is listed in French, and then the name of the business is painted in chunky blue seriffed letters with a yellow offset shade.

Ghost sign above what had been an old convenience store, long since converted into a flat, the old signage advertising Players No 6 ciggies still above, a reminder of what it was before.

Ghost sign advertising wares for a long-gone convenience store, converted into a flat years ago, the fading old sign above the lintel reminding us what it was before
