Unsuccessful Typographic Solutions


This sign is located on Hollywood Blvd. in California. This restaurant is located next to a well known Hollywood signs that is located in the background of the photo. First, the sign is to small. I had to zoom in a lot to even get this in the lens, so this sign was not that legible. The text here that spells out The Green Room, is in a color of green that is hard to read. The text is all in caps and is in a modern more graphic type of typeface. The color washes out the text and with the whole sign being in different shades of green makes it so illegible. The text needs to be bigger in general and so does the size of the sign . You don’t understand that this is a restaurant at first either so what it is representing is hard to read. I feel that text is wrong for such a small size sign, the artist should of choose a sans serif text that was simple and had a thin weight to it.
