Sign Recycling


This is the kind of thing I love about Austin. For as long as I can remember, Cothron's Key and Lock Shop was on Rio Grande between Fifth and Sixth. For whatever reason, they decided to close that store and a fish taco restaurant went into the site. The fish taco guys just decided to paint over the landmark key sign with their own jaunty logo, preserving the iconic status of the place. Pretty cool.

Actually, when you look at it, the shape of the sign suggests waves that the fish is leaping out of. Works for me!

  1. I am also sure they saved a bundle of bills in using the old sign.

    Nice post.
