Lafayette vs American

Detroiter pull: which is your favorite Detroit Coney Island?

Dinosaur Jr had a key member split off to form a separate band, Sebadoh. Division inspired this Detroit-themed 3-color show poster idea of the rival coney island restaurants. Lafayette and American Coney Island are run by the Keros brothers which just so happen to be right next door to one another and who also compete for Detroit’s best coney.

The meter at the bottom was purposefully treated darker to draw the eye into the dividing center that splits this poster down the middle. The lettering of "Dinosaur Jr” was also customized to mimic the style of the Lafayette and American signs.
