The joy of writing copy for butchers (with @Desightation)
Photo: Nick Garrett
Not one, but two bits of playful copy on this sign by London-based signwriter Nick Garrett. Reminded me of the line on this ghostsign, also found on this one: “Pleased to meet you, meat to please you.”
Do you know of any other choice cuts from the realm of butchers’ copywriting?
