I am looking for images of old style sign shops. We are moving into a retail frontage and I really want to give the outside and inside some old school charter. I have a fairly good idea of where I want to go with it, but i want a little bit more inspiration. I would hate to design it all and then see something that I should have included. Any images that you might have or something that looks cool and old school I would love to see.
Thanks Heaps.

HI Clint, where's Glenhaven?
If you do a search here on Letterville, that subject came up a few weeks ago, as well as occasionally over the past couple of years, and a google images search will also give you some answers.

www.signmuseum.com A lot of links and separate categories, you might find something you like. Fun to look through nonetheless.

Hi Ian,
Glenhaven is 1 hour north west of Sydney centre. In the Hills District.

Most of the old photos of sign shop interiors were extremely start. Nothing hanging on walls, no decor at all. Nothing to read except work in progress. Most shops seemed more like hallways being used for shops, long and narrow and often poorly lit. Shop fronts often were well over signed. Some were store fronts and many were on second floor. I saw photos of none that had the ambiance of the poorest presentation of today's expectations.

I know that Kevin Betz has quite a few old sign shop pix. If he's reading this, maybe he will email you some. Love....Jill
