Sign of the Shopocalypse

I've been hibernating for months. Too over-worked at first to explore and photograph, then it was just too cold, and honestly maybe a bit lazy. There's an abandoned tennis court I'd like to photograph provided the Port Authority Police don't arrest me first.
Anyway thanks to Wikipedia syndrome and subsequently Google syndrome I found this awesome project/blog about faded ad murals. Frank Jump works out of a home base in Brooklyn but apparently has visited my beloved home state of New Jersey and photographed some awesome stuff.
I have to share this photo because I remember seeing the new Shop Rite logo a few years ago and being very creeped out by it. It looked like a scary rip-off of the previous one. Maybe it scared me because the Shop Rite logo has always been some type of creepy, and I had some sort of psychological imprinting thing with the version of the logo I grew up with. This picture from a mural in Newark might be proof.

 

Look at those creepy pointy letters! And the creepy silhouette guy! Is it an executioner? I don't know and I don't want to mommy I'm scared whycan'tweshopatgrandunion!?

Great now I'm going to have a Shop Rite nightmare tonight.
