This was a quickie trip last night, as there was a new TV show on I wanted to watch! So I went to a nearby liquor store and took a photo of the Shock Top neon sign in the window! I guess I tend to stick to the same type of beers when I buy, since this name didn't ring a bell to me, either (see Day 1).
I love the design! Just a few lines can convey so much; I'm really enjoying the art aspect of these signs.
How unusual to fins a serif font in neon! I never heard of this beer, but the design is fun and interesting!
ReplyDeleteI have also never heard of this beer. Which made me google a little. Turns out it is a Belgium White beer that in contrast to most beers is not malted. IT is made of raw unmalted wheat with spices such as lime, orange peel and coriander. The actual bottle, has this head on it. I thought it would be a helmet, but instead it is a slice of orange, with the crown part made out of wheat and it's wearing sunglasses. It's actually pretty cool And, again as Harry122, says, this is the first for me too seeing Serif fonts in a neon. I found this one very interesting! Hope you have a great weekend and find some signs while you're away!
ReplyDeleteNow that is funny. I was sad to see you will be missing a few days and won't make the H2H.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time this weekend.
Yes an art aspect, while utilizing lines efficiently. It must be a special art.

Another great find - I think of you everytime I see a neon sign!
ReplyDeleteCool find. I did not know Belgian beer was also exported to your part of the world.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly need sunglasses for this one!
ReplyDeleteYes, I find the simple ones are often the best.
