White Banner Uniform Sign - Fargo, ND - Googie Architecture on Waymarking.com

This sign has been hanging above Broadway since before I moved to Fargo in the summer of 1976. The sign is also used as the logo for White Banner Uniforms, as pictured on their front door.

"Googie is a modern (ultramodern, even) architectural style that helps us understand post-WWII American futurism — an era thought of as a “golden age” of futurist design for many here ... It’s a style built on exaggeration; on dramatic angles; on plastic and steel and neon and wide-eyed technological optimism. It draws inspiration from Space Age ideals and rocketship dreams."
