This sign is still up (in the Lost Barrio) along with its companion hand-painted vinylbanner, a testament to the staying power of the paint, the wood and the banner. These results cannot be achieved today as the paint is no longer suitable for long-term exterior use, and the enamel-receptive banners are no longer made as everyone uses stickers from a computer instead.
I designed the typeface and the existing logo was worked in dutch metal guild (which gave it up in 2 years in the desert climate so I covered it with paint).
