No More Neon!
Published on 2012-05-16 23:26:00
Lady Bird Johnson wasn't a fan of neon signage. The wife of President Lyndon B. Johnson had had enough of America’s beautiful landscape littered by neon.In the 1960s, she became an advocate for a highway beautification program in the United States.She influenced her husband, President Johnson, to sign the Highway Beautification Act, where he stated that he didn’t choose “to hide from view what God has gladly given it.”Neon signs were the culprits that blocked the views so that the Gold [..] > read more

Many phone booths, such as those in several cities in Bolivia went mod in the 60s, in the form of phones housed inside bir [..] > read more

Published on 2012-01-04 12:44:00
These painted wall signs can be found in cities that were created in the late 1800s. By the late 20th century some of the signs remained and became known as ghost signs.They contain faded and peeling paint, often revealing a pentimento effect, one image showing through another.The lead paints and other chemicals used to create the signs, durable yet toxic, exposed the sign painters, who were often called wall dogs, to an environmental hazards at the same time as they made art that seemed to last [..] > read more
