In March of 1991, Southern Pacific introduced a new logo, called "speed lettering", inspired by the stacked Rio Grande logo. It was first applied to a group of rebuilt GP40M-2s by MK in Boise, Idaho. Initially, a smaller version of the logo was applied to SP 7107-7111, later adopting a larger version with SP 7112 on April 15, 1991.
Doug was on hand to catch the first two units with the officially adopted logo leading an EUCHX train through Ogden, Utah.
In total, SP applied speed lettering to 1,035 locomotives including new acquisitions from EMD, GE, rebuilt MK, and Southern Pacific, Rio Grande, and St. Louis Southwestern repaints.
What a great googie-ish sign. Neat shapes & lettering, a star, expanded metal decorative panels. Johnnies has it going on!

The faded and incomplete lettering on the right and left sides of the laundromat’s storefront reads: leather jacket polishing and oiling; dry cleaning and water washing (illegible).
I'd be careful playing with this particular dice if I were you. No matter how much I roll it, it seems always to come up on the number two!
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 3rd of January is "magnets" Unlike a lot of people, I don't have many magnets on my refrigerator, and those I do tend to be from trades and service providers I use. This magnet is the one exception to the rule. Funnily enough I don't actually like it. It is showy and represents gambling of which I am not a fan, but my friend Judy, who sadly died from Alzheimer’s a few years ago, says she bought it in Las Vagas especially for me. She said that she couldn't resist its showy vulgarity and bought different coloured ones to be given to me and to other friends. I keep it as a memory of Judy. At least she got the colour right, as blue is my favourite colour! I hope you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile!
Letters and number found on the box my granddaughter brought along with some activity in it yesterday. Pastel lettering and number.
For Macro Mondays, theme Pastel.

Frederiks Kirk (Frederik's Church), also known as Marmorkirken (The Marble Church) in Nyhavn the entertainment district in the centre of Copenhagen in Denmark.
The church was designed by the architect Nicolai Eigtved in 1740 and was along with the rest of Frederiksstaden, a district of Copenhagen, intended to commemorate the 300 years jubilee of the first coronation of a member of the House of Oldenburg. Frederick's Church has the largest church dome in Scandinavia with a span of 31m. The dome rests on 12 columns. The inspiration was probably St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.
The foundation stone was set by king Frederick V on October 31, 1749, but the construction was slowed by budget cuts and the death of Eigtved in 1754. In 1770, the original plans for the church were abandoned by Johann Friedrich Struensee. The church was left incomplete and, in spite of several initiatives to complete it, stood as a ruin for nearly 150 years.
In 1874, Andreas Frederik Krieger, Denmark's Finance Minister at the time, sold the ruins of the uncompleted church and the church square to Carl Frederik Tietgen for 100,000 Rigsdaler — none of which was to be paid in cash — on the condition that Tietgen would build a church in a style similar to the original plans and donate it to the state when complete, while in turn he acquired the rights to subdivide neighbouring plots for development.
The deal was at the time highly controversial. On 25 January 1877, a case was brought by the Folketing at the Rigsretten (Court of Impeachment ) Krieger being charged with corruption over this deal. He was, however, eventually acquitted.
Tietgen got Ferdinand Meldahl to design the church in its final form and financed its construction. Due to financial restrictions, the original plans for the church to be built almost entirely from marble were discarded, and instead Meldahl opted for construction to be done with limestone. The church was finally opened to the public on August 19, 1894.
Inscribed in gold lettering on the entablature of the front portico are the words: HERRENS ORD BLIVER EVINDELIG ("the word of the Lord endureth for ever"). A series of statues of prominent theologians and ecclesiastical figures, including one of the eminent Danish philosopher Kierkegaard (who, incidentally, had become very critical of the established church by the end of his life), encircles the grounds of the building.

A selection from my new reportage, through my eyes&taste, my own picked pics with comments, some of my favorites,
plus cool discoveries and few unexpected intriguing surprises while visiting the top noch Interior Design Fair.

Exhibitions kermesse entitled "The City of Lights"
Installazione di Maurizio Nannucci
Among the most powerful interpreters of artificial light in contemporary art, ideally invites to imagine the contrary, a creative attitude, virtuous and curious.
This neon light installation, presented in preview at the Salone del mobile, will be definitely positioned and hosted at the Politecnico (Architecture University) in Milano as a sign and symbol of the importance an high value of School and Education.
Nannucci has frequently used neon glass coloured tubes as visual and conceptual Art to show his statements with the strength to last. And when a work becomes lettering or, better, WordArt, viewers are invited to read...
Other quotes by him are: "New Times for other Ideas", "Changing place, changing time, changing thoughts, changing future"...
"Everything might be different"...
"You can imagine the opposite" is a powerful exhortation to think the exact opposite, because, as Bruno Munari used to ask in his Mantra "But can't it be done another way?", another possibility always exists.
Special thanks to my model Celeste (what a better name?) for having posed for me meeting my request to not stand still, but, instead, to keep walking to reach a more dynamic effect in real motion.

Espee Speed Lettering heritage clearly still owns its rights along the Overland Route in 2026
GSGHAS With Ex-Southern Pacific now patched 6318 leads fresh produce west of Cheyenne, WY under spring thunder showers in fine form in a very Stein-ish-style scene, with just a kiss of a Wyoming sunset. Long live the Espee and Richard Steinheimer.

The Tuscan red & gray paint scheme, with gold accents, rolled debuted on Canadian Pacific in 1949. About 10 years later, in 1960, a modified version of the paint scheme was released featuring script lettering on the long hood. Jump forward another 60 years, and CP decided to revive the paint scheme on 5 rebuilt SD70ACU's in 2019. They look very good.
CP 2816 and the Final Spike Tour needed an additional diesel due to issues with one of the FP9's on Rich Mountain, and to help with upcoming grades in Mexico. When the train arrived in Shreveport, someone noticed CP 7013 nearby and realized its paint fit in perfectly with the special. They gave it an impromptu bath and added it to the train. Freshly washed, that script lettering looks really nice.

This page offers schematics as the basis for modular lettering styles, including the round-cornered style known in America as “gaspipe”.
Enjoying a drink with some of my chums from my long running book group this week, I noticed one of the now empty glasses had lettering on it and the lamp above our table was casting this shadow of the glass but also all the lettering inscribed on it. I had to take the camera out and try a couple of photos. Very low light and couldn't use the flash as it would wipe out the shadows, surprised but pleased it came out. I just couldn't resist it when I saw the shadows!

So we thought we'd made a good purchase on a couple of ex-UP SD70s. But considering all the emissions requirements and the extra money they'd cost us to operate yearly, and the fact that the Lake States Railway wanted to do some horse trading, we let the 70s go to them in a trade for a couple SD40s. We put them in service upon arrival, but repainting is far down the list of priorities right now. So I came up with a lettering plan to incorporate into the Lake State's blue and grey paint scheme. This is the result and it should work for a while. We've also had many compliments on the layout so everyone's happy until we can eventually break open the IN black and yellow paint cans.
