The rebuilt Kurhaus. This sign graced the side of the former 1970 DDR FDGB Kurhaus which stood on the site of an earlier hotel, dating from the early 1890s and which itself was demolished in 2008.

Somebody resprayed the old Vauxhall Viva in yellow without popping out the chrome lettering. I've cleaned them up a bit.
In addition to the custom lettering for the Autumn logo, I also re-designed the CrossRoads logo (CrossRoads being the business entity that is essentially Dad, the truck, and myself as an employee). I designed it in the same program as the Autumn logo, and utilized the same "chrome" material.
The late-delivery of the truck meant that we got the truck home on a Friday night, and I was scheduled to leave Monday morning. The lettering company didn't have time to apply the lettering in that short of a time frame... so I took on the challenge.
It took me a good 8 hours to do all of the lettering - Autumn Logo, Crossroads Logo, truck number, and a large block of regulatory ID numbers that are also required - and remember, it's all of those x2!
This is the lettering I drew by hand in the shape of an oval to frame the illustration. The text is from the poem The Owl and The Pussy-Cat by Edward Lear
"The Owl and the Pussy-Cat went to sea
In a beautiful pea-green boat."
