While in the Little Cambodia part of Long Beach I noticed a couple buildings with hand-lettered storefronts. These kinds of things interest me because I come from a design background...sorta. I love the use of existing corporate identity for what seems to be little mom and pop shops. Well, maybe 'love' is not the word. But it just goes to show how recognizable the real deal is. These should be fairly easy to identify:
This 1st one is odd because the original logo is not used to sell auto parts.
This one's a complete departure.
These two buildings were remarkably on the same block. If we'd had more time I would have liked to hunt for more of these.
