Welcome to Hollywood

i pass a sign like this everyday on my way to work off on 95 and sheridan, I kind of like the treatment on the y. its sort of their logo. but i dont like how the left arm of the y is chopped off, but the rest of it flows so nicely. I dont know im torn. And im not sure i like that the words "welcome to" and the word "florida" aren't in exactly the same style. 3-4 variations of font or style in one little sign is a bit much no?

What do you think?

I was working on a project in my photo 2 class where i needed to simulate a carving typography style with transparent paper and photo rc paper with an enlarger. I had good results and bad results, but i thought if one were to create an entire alphabet from these organic carvings (mostly just peoples initials in trees)(or sidewalks) it would make for a nice typeface.

also it would go good with out type and image projects....as mine came from sidewalk letters ironically.

I have always likes the font treatment dodge used on their cars. Its industrial, fast looking in design but simple san serif. I have the fonts on my computer and find that (the oblique style especiall) works well with futuristic style designs or industrial looking designs.
