swanky sign


still in knoxville, i am (online anyway). i must visit this place. anyhoo, just stumbled upon this crazy-hip sign from a motel there on swankpad. love it! need to find out that font! reminds me of a crest on a school jacket.

here's the closest font i could find, called aptly, motor inn from identifont.
