Tempur-Pedic Mattresses and Orchid Restaurant

I just love the Tempur-Pedic mattress sign!  Lively colors, and what's that I see?  Buttocks and a butt crack?  Definitely made me chuckle!  The vertical black line running through the image in the middle is the dividing point between the huge plate glass windows that define the front of the store!

The Orchid sign is part of the name of a restaurant in Costa Mesa.  The neon sign included the whole name of the restaurant and ran the length of the building. Very long.  I forgot the name of the restaurant, but will go back and find it and amend this post!  But I was drawn to the orange and turquoise and the interesting font.

Park City Box Office and Sealy Mattresses

Yet more outtakes!  The box office sign captured my attention as we walked down the main street in Park City, Utah.  Just the simple design suggesting the tall mountains surrounding the city made an impression, and I loved the colors of the mountains!

The Sealy mattress logo was located on the side window of a mattress store in Irvine.  Simple design, yet it caught my attention, since it seems to have nothing to do with mattresses.  I did get another mattress logo sign at the same store, which I'll post soon.

Subway and Hemp

These are more outtakes from the 30-Day Challenge.   The Subway sandwich store neon was a real find; most of the signs on newer stores are brightly lit, but not neon, and I was so surprised to find a neon for the franchise that I had to take a picture of it!

Wear Hemp is located in the front window of a clothing store near the Newport Pier.  Unfortunately there was some decorative merchandise in front of the bottom of the sign, but it didn't interfere with the main part of the message.   It was an interesting neon, once again geared for the beach community in which it's located.

Carniceria and Tortilleria

These two signs were located at the same store as the Taqueria sign I posted earlier, and were, in effect, "outtakes" from that day's shooting for my 30-Day Challenge.  The signs were located well over my head on the front window of the store, and made a nice grouping with the taqueria sign.  I love the intricate details of the corn in the tortilleria neon.  This store is located in Lake Forest.

It's Not Over!!

Now that the 30-Day Challenge is behind me, I'm modifying my blog to allow for additional neon signs!  I have quite a few "outtakes" from the challenge, and just today, I was out and saw a whole slew of interesting neon signs in a shopping center a few miles from my house.  Of course it was daylight and I didn't have my camera with me anyway.

I will be adding neon signs but unfortunately not on a regular basis.  I hope you will continue to stop by and look at them.  And leave comments!
