Batman Ice Cream Truck

Bat Ice Cream Truck

Spotted this last week on my lunch break. Sorry about the image quality: it was backlit, all I had was my phone, and to top it of, my windshield needed to be cleaned. (We’d had one of those rains a few days earlier that drops just enough water to rearrange the dirt, but no more. I got to it after work that day.)

Super-Speed Shipping!

2 trucks: Bartwood Construction & Keystone Freight

I could not believe I managed to spot these next to each other. I mean, Bart and Keystone?

It’s right up there with this one, which I also saw on the back of a truck:

Flash Transport

Check out the design:

  • Red as the main color
  • Sans-serif capital italics (just like the longest-running versions of the Flash logo)
  • A lightning bolt that runs from the upper right to the lower left.

Hmm…

It got me thinking about commercial applications of super-speed. Not something that turns up often in the super-hero genre, but it shows up occasionally. Kapitalist Kouriers is the first one that comes to mind. They were a trio of Soviet defectors who decided to sell their services as couriers and, from time to time, heroes for hire.

Bolt From Above

Found in a movie theater lobby this weekend:

Large shiny golden 3D cardboard lightning bolt sticking up out of the floor.

I’m pretty sure it’s a subtle (in the sense of not having any words on it that I could see, not in the sense of being difficult to miss) ad for the upcoming Disney CGI cartoon, Bolt, but I couldn’t pass up a picture of a giant golden lightning bolt frozen in the lobby. My wife joked that it needed the caption, “Zeus was here.”
