I See Signs 1


Right: I'd like to ask the Rabbi: Was it just chance that landed your purple ad in the middle of all that yellow?

(Re complementary colors;  sign seen on Delancey.)



What's wrong with Tycoon Island (formerly NYC), above left: "Live like a Rockefeller, party like a rockstar." (2nd Ave near 2nd St)

On the bright side, that lifestyle will deliver them to the business across the street from the sign, above right.  Nothing like a dead clock, window plants, and lights left on to make a funeral parlor homey.  (Radio ad tagline: "At Provenzano Lanza, we leave the lights on!")

Above left: The Gaseteria sign, perfectly placed near the mouth of high octane Newtown Creek.  Above right, a star filled "night regulation" sign I found sleeping on the sidewalk in Greenpoint.

And finally, below, on 58th St. in Maspeth, the most "architecturally organic" sign I've seen in a while.  Leave it to "New York's Tidiest" to bring us the last word in clean, modern style.
