Maria Lokshin Signs of the Times September 2006 Issue

On a recent trip to Los Angeles, I took the time to indulge in the weather, the palm trees, the sights – and the signs. Los Angeles' eclectic signage fuses modern applications with vintage Hollywood. Armed with an ST mission, my friends and I steered onto Sunset and Hollywood boulevards, which proved to be a sign haven. Scattered throughout these famous streets are huge billboards, superlarge-format building wraps, neon, vintage-style marquees and LEDs. A photo gallery from my treasure hunt follows.
