A City's Entire History In One Design

Dead: Betty Willis, at 91. Also, Buzz Leming, at 74. On the same day. Why is this significant? They designed iconic signs of Las Vegas: Betty did the "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign everyone but me seems to want to pose next to (I run past it when I stay on the Strip, and I see all of you taking selfies there), and Buzz did the neon signs outside several Strip casinos back in the day when neon and not video boards were the design signature of the city. Laugh at the kitsch if you want, but their art is more significant than some of the stuff you see at your finer museums. (Las Vegas Review-Journal)
