Well that's a layout I wish I'd though of I particularly like the way the upside down G is simultaneously eyecatching yet subtle probably achieved by the way the artist also reversed the G when he(?) inverted the stencil. Inversion of the final R gives great emphasis to the end of the sign wouldn't you agree? Then of course there is the careful manipulation of the W s to create a new and original font never before thought of by any one with a ghetto airbrush. I don't know about anyone else but I give this one five out of five

Thank you for keen observation concerning the typeface chosen by the artist for the W. It is in the same family as the E. It's called serif/sanserif eclectic and is a distorted version of Cosmic 2.
And you are correct in your statement about the R in the reverse panel. It really sets off the whole sign.
Now we're learnin' !!

...it's so ugly it makes my eyeballs itch! It is the epitome of ugly, the bottom, the nadir, the scrapings left in the ugly barrel when you you've poured off all the normal, everyday, garden variety ugly. It's the sort of ugly that makes ordinary ugly seem just mediocre; the black hole of ugly, from which no particle of non-ugly escapes, it sucks in all the ugly of the world and pulses in a radiant energy of pure, deep, unmitigated ugly. The sort of ugly that makes pustules and mud fences envious of it's ability to redefine ugliness. A true masterpiece of ugly ugliness in it's ugliest manifestation of ugly. Wow.

Hey, man you guys sure know how to hurt a guy's feelings. I just finished installing that sign last week.
I was going for a "do it yourself" kind of look. The client wanted the sign to give the impression that there would be good bargains at his garage sale, and didn't want the sign to look "too good".
I thought I pulled it off well, too.
Damn, and I thought I was going to include that photo in my next SignCraft article about "Creativity in Extraordinary Signage".
