Just back from a quick trip to Portland. One of the finer signs we saw on the way home:

Four-stroke neon upright script with small caps. The beauty of this letter design is there is a common baseline that can sit on top of those windows – no flat vs. round letters to negotiate (all overshoot). Well, except for the y, but that’s a small price to pay for a stunner of a sign.

#FotoVorschlag: Tag der Arbeit // International Workers' Day, Labour Day

Wir verbringen den Tag der Arbeit wie schon im letzten Jahr mit lieben Freunden in einem Ferienhaus (wo ich eben dieses Bild aufgenommen habe). Waren schon eine Runde um einen See spazieren, haben im Garten gesessen, Pizza gemacht und gegessen und ganz viel erzählt und gelacht. Gleich spielen wir noch Hitster und planen eine kleine Wanderung für morgen. 😌

Just like last year, we're spending International Workers' Day – 1 May – with dear friends at a holiday home (where I took this photo earlier). We've been for a walk around a lake, relaxed in the garden, made and eaten pizza, and talked and laughed a lot. In a minute, we'll play Hitster and plan a short hike for tomorrow. 😌

A former furniture store, turned art center in the lovely Mississippi River town of Alton, #Illinois. I love how they seem to have repurposed the original #neon #signage, and that ampersand on the window sign is really cool. #signs #signage #neon #NeonSigns #GraphicDesign #typography

At the intersection of Portland and Changsha streets, this is one of the rare intersections in Kowloon where the eye can catch so many neon signs at the same time. Totally iconic! Thanks to @mansonyms for sharing the location

A full shot of a sign that I posted a tightly-cropped shot of previously. I nearly missed my chance here, because the day this was taken, they were in the process of tearing down the signage to make way for a new tenant. Despite the gray, drizzly weather, I managed to get some decent documentary shots, if not particularly artistic ones. #StLouis #Missouri #signs #signage #neon #NeonSigns #GraphicDesign #typography
