Ghostsigns in Amsterdam & Some Repainted

Last month I visited Amsterdam as part of my work on Better Letters. (Read more about it here, including lots more photos of lettering and signage.) While there I saw a number of ghostsigns, including many that have been repainted as part of the work that features in the book Tekens Aan De Wand. Below are a few of the photos I took, but also one for Fiat that I haven’t ever shared from my trip there in December 2007. This is unusual versus the rest which largely seem to be for small businesses as opposed to big global brands.
