Sigel's Fine Wines & Great Spirits Sign - Dallas, TX - Googie Architecture on Waymarking.com

Sigel's has been in operation since 1905, and they have an excellent selection of beer, wine, spirits, and other things you need to have a responsible and enjoyable event.

This sign has "Googie architecture" all over it, with a compressed orange box with "Sigels Liquor" on a green post. The letters in "Sigels" have a comic book feel about them. There is a starburst at the top, and an orange rectangle with "Beer" inside. A yellow arrow points to the west on both sides, so the sign is slightly different if you're viewing it from the south or the north.

It's an impressive sign, to be sure, but you don't get the whole experience until you see it at night. Those bubbles will flash red, white, and green, giving the idea of downward motion, and you'll see "Sigels" illuminated in blue. "Liquor" and "Beer" remain constant in yellow, while the arrow is animated in red and yellow. There are also a few non-neon lights on that starburst at the top. I have a video here for those who can't make it to Dallas.

A sign with non-conforming spelling is mounted on the post, providing some history:
