Eat at the Rancho Grande













Font Categories: Neon, Latin
Justification: I really like what's going on with this neon sign. Using a narrow upper- and lowercase sans serif in green and an all caps sans serif in red, this neon type execution brings in the colors of the Mexican flag -- even mirroring the stripes (the image of the man referring to the white stripe of the flag, the yellow lasso bringing in elements of the yellow bird in the center of the flag.) It's fun, playful, and eye catching. Also, the use of the simple, unadorned sans serif allows the elements of the neon sign to come forth. And the arrow, we'll I'm guessing that's where I can go to get my comida deliciosa.
