Valentine No. 52

For the sixth summer, I’m spotlighting little aspects of life here that I love. To see previous Valentines, click the Valentine tag at the end of the post.

This may be the thinnest silver lining you’ve ever encountered, but if there’s one bright spot to the endless construction in these parts, it’s the excellent logos and typography on many construction-related vans. I can’t think of another non-style industry where there’s such flair. (Because of the glossy automotive paint, I mainly had to shoot from the side—to avoid my reflection—which diminishes the impact a bit.) I’d pay good money for a Hugh O’Kane or PAR Group T-shirt….

  1. The Hugh O’Kane Electric company is a 3rd generation family owned and operated business based in Tribeca. The logo was designed by a local engraver who asked our grandfather if he could pay a bill with the logo and some engraved stationary (in lieu of debt). The logo has been a permanent staple of the business for over 60 years and we proudly display it on our trucks around the City.

    We’re so happy to hear you enjoy it, please reach out to me directly to work on getting that T-shirt!
