You don't need to speak the language to know what it's saying


I just returned from a trip in Mexico. 7 years without a vacation is to long. And while I am proud to say I didn't check email, (which was hard the first day, and got easier and easier) I didn't completely disconnect. I couldn't help but notice the incredible design everywhere I looked. Especially the use of mixed materials in their signage. I snapped this photo the signage in front of a restaurant. I love the mix of the natural wood and metal. And the material reinforces the logo with the tree in the mark itself. The space itself had a simple, airy, and rustic feel. How elegantly beautiful.
