banjo

I've driven past this sign 23098098 times and have never really noticed it. This store is on the corner of 1st South and 7th East, right next to that outdoor sport shop. They have a sign on the front of the building but this one is way better (its on the side) This treatment is playful and fun just like banjos. Plus its done beautifully, who ever hand painted it did an amazing job. I think the size change really does its job, and is flawless. I'm totally in love with it.

A+ market on 2e and 9ths

I'm not totally sure why this didnt post the first time... regardless, this is a beautiful hand painted sign. It used to be lined with lights, but they have since been broken, or taken out. The shop this belongs to is rather scary, but have recently learned that they sell Pabst individually for 49 cents (incase you need to buy is one beer) The tall sans serif letters are slightly wompy but have a lot of character. i especially like the uneven letter spacing in FOOD, and the strange kerning between the K and S. All in all this pink wonder gets an A+ for being one of the best signs in all of salt lake.

Liea Bell is one of Salt Lakes most wonderful prizes. She is by far one of the greatest show poster designers around to date. Her classic scrawl can be recognized immediately. And one of the most notable venues around town used to be (and will soon again be her shop Signed and Numbered is moving back to Kilby Court) her stomping ground and this sign that hangs on the outside entry has been there as long as I have been going there. Liea is a wonderful typographic style and her hand drawn cursive is beautiful.
