Changing of the Signage at Staubitz
Staubitz, the butcher that’s been in Cobble Hill for almost a century, updated its look this week, much to the chagrin of Lost City, which documented the signage change in this blog post: “The new signage is OK.

Staubitz, the butcher that’s been in Cobble Hill for almost a century, updated its look this week, much to the chagrin of Lost City, which documented the signage change in this blog post: “The new signage is OK. Very spare. Dignified. Probably no surprise to anyone out there, though, that I liked the old sign better.” You can get a better look at the old signage in this photo. Which do you like better?
I prefer the old Snobitz sign. Actually, I just prefer Los Paisanos.
i vote nay. tired of these cliche signs and black oil paint that is the new fontage and frontage of every establishment. no originality… banal, dull, and cookie-cutter. much like brooklyn circa 2010

Likewise, agree with Blayze and CGar! Nice new sign, please don’t change the interior!
New sign is fabulous. Both really the same thing, except the old one was 50s-60s and the new one looks older.
Looks like it matches the awning. Does Lost City really have nothing better to do than lament on this????
Agree with both of Blayze’s posts. Love Staubitz!
But heaven forbid they touch the interior. That place is a gem.

While I usually lament the death of old 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s era signage, I think the new sign is tasteful and straightforward. It suits the store well enough, and proudly dates it’s year of establishment. However, if someone is able to salvage that old timey sign, well I’ll happily take it.
