Roto-Sphere promotional brochure

    The uploaded scan above is from the Roto-Sphere promotional brochure.

    This particular Roto-Sphere was probably the second one made (the first was at Milks' sign shop in Bossier City, LA and there are no records of either one of these). It was renovated by Shreveport Neon and now spins and glows in front of their sign shop:

    Sputnik & sign fans might also be interested in Ace Jackalope's blog on the subject.

    And of course, the history & more photos at my Roto page.

    For the true Roto-Sphere geek, try this link to a map I created:

      Thanks for the great education on the Roto's. I had no idea, and now thanks to you, I actually feel smarter now.

      Still love your stuff...

      You're very welcome. I'm hoping that sharing the info will help save a few more that are out there.

      Ah, so this is the Roto-Sphere in Orlando, right? This is the one they just fixed up (info about it at my "Roto page" -- link below the scan above).
