I don’t know if they were actually migrating, but whenever I see more than two together, I think of migration.

Hardtop
March 11, 2012
This is the logo from my grandfather’s hard hat. It has to be at least 50 years old (the hat at least, a quick search for the company yielded no results). He wasn’t a construction worker by trade, but did surveying for the Ohio turnpike as a summer job when he wasn’t teaching.
I love the typeface for the “hardtop” text. A nice slab serif — a little wide, a little thin, not too bold, but with enough presence. And that “R” is perfection. If I can find some time, I’ll have to re-create the font from this photo.

The coolest punctuation mark in the alphabet as a stencil in black spray paint. With very nice curves too. South Brooklyn.

Huge, heavily detailed illustration wheat pasted up on construction site wall panels. Awesome concept with incredible execution. South Brooklyn.
