I have been taking photographs of interesting and beautiful signs on my travels.
Nelson Court, Nottingham
I love this sign, it is so subtle, with the place name being incorporated into the brick work. This has a very traditional and vintage feel to it despite it being a brand new student accommodation building.
Cow Thrift, Nottingham
This window display sign is huge. It must have been lasered or even CNC cut and due to the scale it would have been several pieces. I like that it is just the raw material without any finish.
Carlton Buildings, Nottingham
This signage is attached to the building on a bracket which follows the curve of the architecture. It is clearly very old and weathered but I think it gives it charm. I've also spotted these White Rose signs all over the city. They are reminiscent of London street signs, particularly with the WR2 code.
Safari Inn, Unknown
I was watching something on my laptop and stumbled across this Neon sign. It is very reminiscent of the Las Vegas sign I've been researching. I love the shape and colour of the neon.
Christmas Market, Nottingham
I spotted this Sur La Piste marquee style sign whilst visiting the Christmas market. It is made from metal and has bulbs filling the space, giving it a circus style. There is also a LED Bookings sign below which is styled like Neon.
Cafe Mambo, Ibiza
I found this sign when visiting the iconic Cafe Mambo in Ibiza. It is huge and spans the width of the resteraunt facing the ocean. It is wooden and sprayed white. This sign has been there since 1994!
Brooklyn Bar, Budapest
I spotted this neon sign in Budapest, it was one of many around the bar. There seems to be a real resurgence of neon signage in bars and resteraunts often becoming a 'seflie spot'.
LED Signs for sale, The Range
I spotted these signs whilst shopping in The Range. They have lots of different designs, for really reasonable prices. Neon is known for being expensive, so these make a great alternative for the home. I do worry with them becoming a trend that they will quickly go out of fashion.
