Vanishing Signs

I love signs. We have a plethora of hideously badly designed ones in our area and I love them all the more. You'll notice samples from 4 different typefaces on the big green highway signs on route 99. They also mix up upper and lower case. Apparently the state of Rhode Island ran out of type when they got to Northern RI.

I miss the Stadum Theater sign when it was non digital. I would always bump into the guy with the ladder and a his long extension pole for putting up the letters.

I love this slideshow in NYT today.
