The biggest neon bending shop in the San Francisco Bay Area also happens to be a dazzling showroom of vintage signs. But it’s only open to the public once a year: at the Neon Speaks Festival. Get tix for the Neon Works Shop Tour before they sell out: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/neon-works-shop-tour-920-tickets-1990926218915

Of course, I can’t post that sign without some lettering commentary. It’s a nice example of a classic thick-thin sign painter’s gothic, lit with a single stroke (unfortunately) of neon at night. The “DISTINCTIVE SERVICE” is particularly handsome.

And in the window happens to be a link to another relative. Dunford Bakery was founded in the late 1920s by Hazel Love Dunford. My uncle, Doug Dunford, was a third generation owner of the company. They’re still around today (https://www.dunfordbakers.com/history.php) & maybe oughtta return to that script logo.

The Neon Museum Las Vegas shared three short videos introducing three of their most iconic signs: Barbary Coast, Sassy Sally, and Moulin Rouge.

We also heard from Tom Koch and Josef Samuel with the pair taking a look at some vintage Viennese sign painting books:

Josef Samuel is one of the subjects of the 'When Better Letters Met' series of biopics (https://bl.ag/josef) and we premiered the fourth of these at Lockdown Letterheads: When Better Letters Met Barbara Enright:
