If you’ve been down to the DDD (Dallas Design District) lately you’ve noticed the striking decorative artwork that adorns the entrances on Hi Line and Oak Lawn. (You know, the big orangeish red wavy I-beam things.)

Want the inside scoop on how these sculpture signs came to be? Check out Focus EGD’s blog post, “A Warm Welcome.” Robbie, a member of the design group that developed the artwork, describes how different architects, designers and Design District businesses inspired the design, colors and typeface used.

I thought it was pretty cool to learn how much thought was put into their design. And now I have some good DD trivia to share at the bar with friends this weekend.

Whether or not you’re into the artsy-fartsy lingo, (no offense Robbie, but you did lay it on pretty thick!), he was nice enough to share his awesome pics of the sculptures with LowerOakLawn.com so check them out below. Or drive down and check them out. You just can’t get the true effect until you see them in person!
