Sign Graphics Portfolio

Arthur Dong worked as the staff sign painter for Cost Plus Imports at San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf from 1973 to 1974. Now known as Cost Plus World Market, the retailer began in 1958 as a single store in a warehouse, characterized by its eclectic style. The signage, hand-painted and custom-designed by Dong, embodied this unique spirit, as shown in the images below.
