I love that old "Penneys" logo. I remember it being displayed at Tri-City Mall in Mesa (a Phoenix suburb) when I was a kid. It was eventually replaced by the blander "JCPenney" logo before the mall closed.
ReplyDeleteThat Penneys logo is one of my favorites. I do have love for the JCPenney logo, but the older logo was so very cool.
ReplyDeleteI think what ultimately killed the Penneys logo was changing tastes. It was so tied to the '60s aesthetic that it was starting to look dated. Wheras the JCPenney logo is more flexible. It's been pumped up, thinned out, boxed in and italicised, but it's still relevant.
That mall looks so different now. It is bigger and surrounded by freeways and buildings, no more greenbelts.
ReplyDeleteMarrie: Yeah, I'll bet Southcenter's a lot different now. I like modern malls a lot, but I like the old ones sometimes, too.
ReplyDeleteOkay, maybe a new mall with the old Penneys :-)
