More fabulous auto lettering and emblems.
Show season is upon us again so the auto type will be coming thick and fast over the next few months.
In this lovely bunch we have some 1940s and 1950s Americana alongside some very rare German loveliness. If only they all belonged to me!
You can see our ever-growing collection of Auto Type here.

An eclectic selection of lettering from mainly American cars, with the exceptions of the DKW Auto Union and the Harrington Cavalier.
The DKW 3-6 Sonderklasse is a rare German beast and from the actual car that racing legend Jim Clark drove in his first race at Crimond June 1956. The 'Cavalier' is from an English Harrington Cavalier Coach.
Rarety aside though, the Hornet lettering has to be my favourite on that lovely 50s rocket-shaped chrome - beautiful!

Just look at the fabulous lettering that can be found lurking in barns & farm yards.
There's something about the simplicity and functionality of vintage tractors that I've always found charming, but their appeal doesn't end there. As you can see these work horses also have beautiful hand-lettered emblems.
If Auto Type is your thing or if you need a bit of inspiration, have a look at our complete collection here and here.

Auto Type XXVXIII - some more fabulous automobile lettering from New Years Day at Brooklands Museum. My particular favourite has to be the Leyland bus (top), not only because it reminds me of my home town, but I love how the letters are deeper at the top to work against the curved bodywork. Looks very 70s.
There's lots more of the same over in our Flickr set or here.

Auto Type XXVXII - from Billing Hot Rod Show a selection of mainly american automobile badges with wonderful lettering as always.
Lots of weathered emblems and patina paint in this bunch but that just adds to their beauty. I particularly like the Country Squire and the Ranch Wagon - two I haven't seen before!

Auto type XXVXI - a very US heavy selection of auto type from a show last summer with a very rare French example thrown in for good measure! I do love the quirky French 'Aronde' lettering, but the 'V8' is one of my all time favourites - I never tire of looking at it.
If you need a break this afternoon, make a cuppa grab a biscuit and check out our full Auto Type collection

We love a bit of
Auto Type so we're very excited to have some of our images in the
Chromeography exhibition in Berlin's
Mota Italic Gallery - a celebration of,
"the metallic emblems that gave names and life to vintage automobiles, domestic appliances, and other consumer objects".Curated by Stephen Coles, who runs the Chromeography Flickr
group and
website, the exhibition opens on 12 November and runs until 22 December 2012.
Goodluck Stephen, we hope it all goes well. Such a shame we can't make it over!
