Accent cues, used sparingly: Lines of bent glass tube; Glowing letters on the night sky; Signs projecting over the road; Blinking and chasing motion. Composition: Black ground packed with lettering, dates and venue gathered at the foot. Type and lettering: Letters drawn very heavy, outlined outward until they seem to glow. Let one material quality come from the second style: Gas and coating chosen per color, blinking chased in one direction. Mood: Exhilaration, Rebellion, Play, Nostalgia. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Chicha Poster: Putting the fluorescents on white kills the glow, destroys the night legibility the style was designed around, and simply looks cheap.
# - Neon Signage: Substituting neon look LED tape loses the depth and bloom of glass tube, and the imitation gives itself away the moment you stand close.
