While in New York in the summer I had a particular interest in the ice cream vans, even though our ice cream vans are sign written in the UK I think what drew me to these was the shape of the actual van, the use of the pale pink and the illustrations, they stand out a lot in New York as they look very different and quite vintage.
I want to further research into ice cream vans and the hand drawn type on them ect.
Here is an example of some hand drawn type in London Covent Garden, I really like how busy it looks.
Ice cream vans have turned quite fashionable and not all of them sell ice cream now, above is one called 'mr frothy' which has been sign written to sell beer. Below is a ice cream van that fashion designer Henry Holland had designed as a fashion store giving vintage ice cream vans a new lease of life. Instead of cones and lollies he sells items from his fashion brand House of Holland.
