Thank you to @letterformarchive for hosting yesterday’s Salon event with Morgane Côme and yours truly.
Working at incredible speed while we slept, the archive has published the recording online already. All 85 minutes can now be viewed here:

Goodness gracious me, it's actually a real book, with an introductory essay from the wonderful Morgane Côme.
This one from @letterformarchive looks spectacular and I can't wait to get my hands on it.

“We’re not saving these signs just because we think they’re cool, we’re saving these signs because they mean something to us, and they mean something to us as New Yorkers, and they mean something to our community.”
— David Barnett, co-founder of Noble Signs and the New York Sign Museum
Un musée des enseignes à New York ! Il faut garder les traces de cette histoire, et faire découvrir ça.

Thanks for your toot @blag
La fameuse plume rouge dans un carré jaune laisse place à une plume grise à droite d'un rectangle jaune. "Il était essentiel de repenser cet emblème pour accompagner la transformation du métier", estime la ministre de la Culture, Rachida Dati.
Dans l'impromptu des #souks de #Tunis : Quatre #enseignes du passé-présent
La signalétique des #magasins des souks de Tunis a énormément changé ces dernières années. Avec des enseignes plus modernes, la page des #nostalgies est tournée, même si certaines #boutiques font de la résistance.
