A Collection of Supernatural Motel Signs

[ash48]

As I've been prepping the Season 8 motels post I was admiring the motel sign in the show. So I put this together for tumblr. Thought I'd share it here also.

Thank you for the effort and time! As always really interseting (and also all the pretty). Do we think they're actually all 'custom made' - that seems very expensive. I'm guessing some must be real motel signs. Now I want to know which they came up with themselves. Ceder Lodge, Green Valley Motel and Astoria Hotel sound rather generic. Too Tired and Day-Z Motel sound too good to be real.

A quick google of Humboldt Hotel tells me that the building does not exist and was added post production (apparently including 2 birds?) - http://dustydreamsanddirtyscars.tumblr.com/post/85502316091/padalickmyballs-lost-shoe

Hi!

Do we think they're actually all 'custom made' - that seems very expensive

I imagine it's a mix of both? And I've just realised I missed one of my favourite motels The Centre Motel Hotel. They've used this motel a number of times and it's had both its original name and custom names (and now I'm going to create an addition set I think).

"Too Tired" is probably my fave because the motel room has a motoring theme - including a room divider made of tires. :)

Oh and I love that information on that motel the Humboldt! Thank you for the link. :DD

That's so cool, and there's a lot of work gone into those! Thanks for sharing :D I may snaffle a few pics, with credit of course :)

Oh hun, feel free to snaffle! I have bigger versions if you need them. ;)

Thanks for stopping by! :)

I may take you up on that. I was thinking of a tour of motels via Sam&Deans misadventures in the bedroom ;) so if you happen to have the info on the actual eps the motels were in, that would help immensely!

\o/\o/ The signs have always been pretty freaking awesome and I love to see some of them again! This is a nice collection of them!! :D

Thank you!! (and now of course I just realised I missed one of my faves - The City Centre Motel. Looks like I'll have to do another set at some point...;D)

Thanks

Thank you so much for putting this together, seeing them all side by side in one collection is just wonderful! They're such an iconic part of American culture, and I love all the differing designs and names.

Thanks for sharing :)
