Type Inspiration from the Neon Museum / Boneyard in Las Vegas

The Boneyard

Being a type enthusiast, I’ve always had an affinity for vintage signs. A couple years back, I got to go to vintage sign mecca…the Neon Museum/Boneyard in Las Vegas. It’s where all the giant signs on the strip go to die and it is beyond amazing. The colors, lights, and shapes made my eyes explode! They kinda rushed us through, so I couldn’t get all the perfect shots, but I got a lot of fun ones as you can see. I thought I’d share them as typography or color inspiration for your next project. Do you have a favorite sign?

    I went there a few yrs ago and I loved it! I tried to take as many pictures as I could but they did rush us since it was almost 100 deg outside. So worth it though!

    Vegas is a great place for parties... If you haven't heard, Hakkasan is opening! It is the biggest nightclub inside the MGM Grand & Resort. It also has a fine dining restaurant. Check it out...
