THE HERCULES MURAL
& SIGN WRITING
​
We were honoured to be asked to contribute a mural to welcome visitors to the London Letterheads event in 2018.
Letterheads in an international event where Signwriters and lettering enthusiasts meet, attend workshops and share tips and skills. The event is hosted in a different country every year and as a London based collective it was a great pleasure to be asked to contribute.
We took the inspiration for this project from a number of old ‘ghost signs’ from around London and worked in two faux signwriter characters painting the mural.

CARTERS STEAM FAIR
​
As part of Joby Carter’s 2019 Signwriting Festival, a spin off of the annual Letterheads Meet held at his family-run Steam Fair in Maidenhead, Alphabetics Anonymous were honoured to be invited by Joby to design and signwrite the back panel of his Father-In-Law’s original vintage Penny Arcade as part of the event.
Together, the team each took on separate elements of the design, inspired by the existing traditional fairground designs on the front of the Arcade, bringing in other decorative style and lettering effects from around the Steam Fair, and pulling 1930’s style references to suit the era in which the Arcade’s ‘penny-in-the-slot’ machines were made and enjoyed. The bold, classic layout is designed to catch the eye and communicate from afar, as this back panel of the Arcade is seen from the roadside as the fairground travels between sites all over the country during the
summer months.
The piece was executed in true Alphabetics Anonymous collaborative spirit, marked up on site by hand and painted by Alphabetics members and fellow signwriters from across the country who were attending the event, and will proudly remain as part of The Carter’s Steam fair for many years
to come.
