As a type nerd, wowza; this is why I come to HN. I'd never even think to look for this. Thanks for the share.

Love the over the top Amrit D.J. Band ones; they remind me of old school Barnum & Bailey signs.

Related, there are many painters, who work as employees at truck repair or denting painting shops, and write generic words like TANK on Diesel Tank, or like OK BYE TATA on rear bumper, or simply names, with dome petals around them. They start with a yellow rectangle, and then paint black lines as negative space, eventually bringing out yellow letters out.
