Tequila Derby



The sign really fits the business. Although it could use some (a lot of) reworking, I think it adds a certain "hole-in-the-wall" character to this Mexican Cantina. It reminds me of the bars I used to visit in Mexico during high school (I'm from El Paso, so Mexico is just across the street). I don't think many other people could feel such nostalgia about a sign like this, but it really makes me smile. The faded stenciling of the letters, the lack of decorative elements, the worn appearance. This is terrible, but I love it.

yeah i could see how it brings back good memories for ya....but it needs some variation, and possible color change...the type is just too mundane..

agreed...besides the word "Cantina" is the most appealing part and its disappearing! They could have spiced up the colors a bit so it made you thirsty just looking at it!
