Welcome to Gassigns.org, the online collection of gasoline logos
from photos and maps.
I began this project in 1996 by scanning some images of my small collection of roadmaps,
and photographing some of the gas stations I saw during my travels.
Since then, many people from all over the world have kindly donated photos, map scans, and
information about gas stations from their area. We are presenting them here for history's sake,
lest they be forgotten in the world of ever-changing gasoline brands.
Note: There is nothing for sale here. These are historical photos and information for reference only.
Site last updated: 8 October, 2008
Technical notes: Because this site uses some large graphics, a screen size of at least 800x600 is
recommended to minimize the need to scroll left and right.
Most photos on this site are reduced to about 80-120 kb in size to reduce waiting time for my dialup visitors,
however some pages contain many photos, so please be patient if you have a slow connection!
This site is coded with standard HTML 4.0, so it should view equally well on any web browser.

included here!
Due to the extensive backlog of photos and only limited time that I can devote to adding them, I am asking at this time that you refrain from sending any photos except as listed on the above "Currently Seeking" list.
Thanks for your understanding. I hoped I wouldn't have to do this, but it's become impossible to keep up with hundreds of unsolicited new photos every month.

The above people are to thank for making this
page what it is. If I've left you out and you contributed something, let me know so I can add you to the list.
Thanks for your generous contributions!
Many thanks also to Wayne Henderson and Scott Benjamin for their excellent reference book,
Guide to Gasoline Logos, which has been indispensable in dating and identifying several of the logos shown here.

Don't miss Robert's U.S.
Highways page,
or his History of
Standard Oil page.
Many people write to tell me about a sign or gas globe or other
paraphernalia that they own and ask me what it might be worth.
Truth is, I wouldn't know. My best suggestion if you have such a
piece and want to sell it, is to visit Ebay, the online auction
place. There are many,many gasoline items being sold weekly there
and some for high dollar. The way to get there is to go to http://collectibles.ebay.com
Then click on Advertising, then click on Gas and Oil.
Then look through the hundreds of things on auction and get an idea of what
similar items to yours are selling for.
