The Clover Signs Blog: Showing off signs from the UK

The following is a post from The Clover Signs Blog in the United Kingdom.  I have been following their blog for about a year now, and I enjoy seeing what they are up to tremendously.

=================

Here is another business sign we did recently.  We don’t usually do installations but since this one was just down the road and  in the heart of downtown London we decided to do it ourselves to be sure it was done right.  At first glance the sign might not look that big.  In fact is is 2.85 meters long and 66 cm wide.  A little bigger than your normal house sign!  You might just be able to see that it has two joints inside the A’s at both ends but that sure does not distract from the effect of the sign.  Here are some before and after shots, unfortunately it was raining so the photos are not the best.

A Fire Call Box that was recently featured on Vintage Vending: The Blog of Retroplanet.com

OK, so this isn't a sign, totally aware of that, but it is very cool none-the-less.  There was a time when industrial designers were not content to allow something that COULD be housed in just a plain metal box, to just be housed in a plain metal box.

If you have any doubts at all about the importance of design like this, answer this question for me:

When you saw this picture, how many different pictures / memories / feelings did it summon up?

This was recently posted on RetroPlanet.com's very cool blog, Vintage Vending.
