ok, so this is part 1 of my vegas posting.
as i stated a moment ago, vegas is one messed up place.
but it's spectacular!
well, the signage is spectacular.
it's legendary for good reason.
seriously.
i only caught a small portion of the strip, and didn't even head downtown where i think the older, cruddier places are. [with the dope, old crazy signs]
there are also legends of sort of the eldorado of sign geeks... the sign graveyard. it's where all of the old places that are part of a bygone era, rest in typography in the desert.
so, hopefully, next time, i'll be able to check that one out.
in the mean time, i wanted to say that i don;t know if i was stupid for not knowing this, but the old west style of typography is still pretty evident out there. a lot of familiar fonts, like ponderossa and rosewood.
also, that amazing flamingo script. i always thought house industries did such an amazing job with their interpretation of vegas fonts.
but please check back over the course of the next few days, because there are plenty more pics for me to go through.
enjoy!
