| A herd of Food Trucks. |

| Mardi Gras style |
Food truck fonts are seen in large scale, colors are bolder, and the business names need to be more intriguing. Psychedelic, punk, Japanese modern, vernacular styles make food truck art truly postmodern.

As stated in Meggs' History of Graphic Design, the term supergraphics was coined to describe "bold geometric shapes of bright color, giant Helvetica lettering, and huge pictographs warping walls, bending corners, and flowing from the floor to the wall and across the ceiling.." "Psychological as well as decorative values were addressed, as designers created forms to enliven dismal institutional architecture.." The pedestrian, institutional look of the aluminum sided food truck has been elevated by these large scale applied graphics.
Street Sweets artists, Landers Miller Design, incorporated typography into the food truck art in the spirit of the facades of French patisseries. Incorporating the concept of street maps, the design takes on a vernacular, Parisian flair.
In a reversal, one of my favorites, Curry Up Now, started out as a food truck and then opened a brick-and-mortar restaurant in San Mateo. Perhaps the food truck business is simply a trendy micro industry, or an extension of an existing corporate identity system. Either way it is an example of the ever-evolving call of commerce that design answers.
I wonder how Robert Venturi would design his own food truck. Oh, and there is even a food truck for dogs.
