Old and fading advertising images painted on exterior building walls are known as “Ghost Signs”. Some may last days, some may last decades, and some like this one may linger for a century or more.

...this is a fabulous one. Ghosty, but you can read it!
ReplyDeleteI love those signs
ReplyDeleteI like that one.
ReplyDeleteI love it, Andy.
ReplyDeleteMaby a ghostwriter sign but for sure an existing brand. Perhaps a new way to ask attention.
ReplyDeleteAh those Coke signs that will remain long after the painters who put them up there (and hopefully had a cold one when taking a break!)
ReplyDeleteI love finding ghost signs around town. I remember a few years ago a local shopping center was going through a remodel and they uncovered several old signs.
ReplyDeleteIn the small town just north of me they have a festival every couple of years. It is s time to paint new signs on old buildings accenting some of the history of the area.
ReplyDeleteFine ghost sign. We need more places that sells fruit and motor oil. The past was not all bad.
ReplyDeleteSo faded.
ReplyDeleteYes they are nice , in Amsterdam I saw also some of them from long ago, but they are still visible, amazing!
ReplyDeleteAnd it still works!
ReplyDeleteUma boa arte é bonito de vê, mas, também gosto de vê a cidade limpa!
ReplyDeleteTenha bom fim de semana
Um abraço
