Katz's Delicatessen (1888)
205 E. Houston St.
Lower East Side, New York
In 1888 the Iceland Brothers opened a delicatessen on Ludlow Street. They took on Willy Katz as a partner in 1903 and changed the name to Iceland and Katz. In 1910, Willy and his cousin Bennie bought out the Iceland brothers and the deli became Katz's. With the building of the IND subway and the widening of Houston Street in the mid-1930s, the deli relocated across Ludlow Street. Meats and pickles were on offer in barrels in the next door vacant lot on Houston Street. In the late 1940s, the deli expanded to this lot creating the present corner location. Needing a new sign for the corner storefront, they were asked by the signmaker what the sign should say, and they replied "Katz's, that's all." And that's just what he made. The sign still graces the window on Houston Street. The deli famously appeared as a location in WHEN HARRY MET SALLY.

If this would be in the Netherlands, the Dutch would read this sign as Serif Park :–) If the signmaker knew this, would he still have taken a Sans Serif typeface?

(that's LEN LOTHIAN LIMITED, STORAGE CONTRACTORS) in a wonderful mid-1960s Microgramma typeface, which must have seemed very futuristic and cultured at the time, compared to the more usual Stymie Bold that British signmakers seemed to favour at the time. It also still looks a lot more contemporary than the latter.

In Saskatoon, November 16, 2013 proved to be a cold day for a March. While -8C was not barrier to outside activity in itself, it was the 30+kph wind from the E/NE that chilled as we walked, bused, biked to Midtown Plaza to gather for the march. We were relieved that the gathering place was on the West side of the all, and out of the wind. Petitions were signed! A signing table had a couple of clipboards with petition copies and “Chick” wheeled her wheelchair around cheerfully collecting signatures. The signmakers were busy, there were many signs either brought to the march or handed out for those that did not have signs. We were all pleased when the “Idle No More” banner was unfurled.

As if the wooden block at the beginning of the line wasn’t embarassing enough, the ‘CENTRE’, er,..... isn’t!
Please excuse the quality, but I just had to share this favourite of mine from 27 years ago – scanned from a ye olde lustre-finish enprint. Quite an eye-opener to a young design undergraduate, just yards from my college in Queen’s Gardens, Hull! Is it still there, I wonder... or did the signmaker take [ahem] advice?!
And, yes, it is genuine – no Photoshop in those days!

11/11/11 • Three different signs I've used to uniquely display my hours on the office door. More eyecatching than a quick note- inspired by promotional rock concert posters.

Please pardon the crappy quality of the photo. I had to use my IQ32 cellphone.
Poor proof-reading, or did the signmaker purposely do this???

Steel Elephant
The concept of this elephant links back to Sheffield’s heritage as a city internationally known for its steel production. Not content with simply painting the exterior of their elephant, artist Tom Clayton has gone one step further, creating an elaborate steel wire frame made up of wires, cogs and lights. After inserting the wire frame into the sculpture, he cut away sections of the fiberglass casing, allowing the organs of the cyborg elephant to be displayed for all to see. Each cut out section was then covered in acrylic to protect the delicate structure. The rest of the elephant was painted with a chrome finish to give it a metallic looking outer shell. All of the materials for this elephant were sourced locally in Sheffield. The chrome finish along with the rivets is a vinyl wrap which was done at a signmaker called RJ Signs based in Northwich.
