Sign form: Pylon
Sign-specific description: This roadside pylon has a rectangular base that holds a reader board box that they can add or take out different plastic backlit advertisements. On the back corner of this portion there is a black blade that comes out that has white squares that encase the blue mid century modern font that spell out "STERLING" vertically. On both the left and right side of the "G" there are two blue diamond shapes lined with skeletal neon.

Sign - thematic influences: Since this sign was a repurposed sign it shows how many of the motels on East Fremont have been around since the 40's/50's but have changed names and ownership many times, but they still keep the older signs and just fit it to their own needs.
Sign - artistic significance: The font that they use for the letters "Sterling" is a classic Mid century modern font that you could have seen for an older diner or movie theater/drive in.
