NaugaRoto-sphere "Sputnik" sign at Joe's Liquors in Memphis, TN. According to the Roadside Architecture website, "Roto-Sphere signs are perhaps the biggest and most dramatic neon signs ever mass-produced. They were created and produced by Warren Milks from 1960-1971. Milks made approximately 234 of them at his sign shop in Bossier City, LA. Only about 20 Roto-Spheres are left. Of these, only four are fully operational (Memphis, Lakeland, Whiteland, and Salt Lake City). Only 9 are still on public display...Not only does the sign rotate on its pole, but the ball itself is composed of two counter-rotating hemispheres." <br> <br> I took this photo in 2016 on my trip to Memphis to visit family and to attend Gonerfest 13, a punk rock/garage rock music festival run by Goner Records. <br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/VintageSigns?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VintageSigns</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/SignGeek?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SignGeek</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/SignJunkie?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SignJunkie</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Neon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Neon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/NeonSign?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NeonSign</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Retro?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Retro</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Midcentury?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Midcentury</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/MidcenturyModern?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MidcenturyModern</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Gonerfest?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Gonerfest</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/RotoSphere?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RotoSphere</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Memphis?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Memphis</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/MemphisTN?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MemphisTN</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Signspotting?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Signspotting</a>
