The front door on the bar had a sign that read, "Sip back and relax."

The Neon Museum Las Vegas shared three short videos introducing three of their most iconic signs: Barbary Coast, Sassy Sally, and Moulin Rouge.

We also heard from Tom Koch and Josef Samuel with the pair taking a look at some vintage Viennese sign painting books:

Josef Samuel is one of the subjects of the 'When Better Letters Met' series of biopics (https://bl.ag/josef) and we premiered the fourth of these at Lockdown Letterheads: When Better Letters Met Barbara Enright:

Quiet and respectable during the day. At night, neon in four colors: blue, white, red, yellow. Love a small apartment building that is willing to go hard with their sign.

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
