The Chicago Look 2-Packs

66th Quarterly Edition – A Tribute to Mid-Century Sign Style

This one’s for the design nerds, type junkies, and anyone who’s ever admired a hand-painted sign and thought, “Damn, that’s cool.”

Field Notes’ Spring 2025 limited-edition Chicago Look 2-pack pays homage to the bold, brilliant legacy of the Beverly Sign Co. — the crew that made Chicago a landmark in mid-century sign-painting. Featuring striking panel layouts, loud colors, and clever typography, this style defined a whole era of American design.

This edition breaks tradition with a larger 6" × 8" format, filled with 64 graph-ruled pages in Non-Repro Blue — a throwback hue still used in the graphic arts world for work that disappears from scans and prints. The inside covers pack in historical gold and classic Field Notes humor.

• 2-pack of limited edition Field Notes notebooks

• Larger 6" × 8" size – perfect for desk or studio

• Non-Repro Blue graph paper – functional and archival

• Celebrates the bold typography and color of Chicago’s sign-painting heyday

• Made in the U.S.A.

For those who sketch big ideas and think in vintage fonts — this one’s got your name all over it.
