STREET TYPE PHILLY TRAVEL EDITION
For my friend’s senior Degree Project (it’s like our Graphic Design thesis, but it’s a project, not a paper) we had to travel to Point Pleasant, West Virginia (if you know of it, it can only be for one reason). We had a very specific shot list… but I had to take some sign photos along the way.
I apologize that these are all so different.
“It’s great to see that some people are enthusiasts of old school design. Marc Shur has a great collection of vintage signage in his flickrstream, enough pieces to make any signage fan go crazy.”
Hotel, Camac & Walnut st., Center City.
This sign is on the side of the building which is currently Pandora’s lunchbox. During the summer months it is completely covered by leaves so it took me a long time to notice it. Oddly enough it is directly across the street from another mysterious hotel sign that has been on the blog before
Milk Boy, 11th & Chestnut, Center City
Pauline’s Bridal Shoppe, 11th & Sansom st., Center City

I wander around Philly taking photos of type. I am not a photographer... All the pictures posted were taken and are owned by streettypephilly unless they were sent in as a submission.
