Remember those “Big. Bold. Brightly colored” signs from the fifties and sixties? The ones that practically screamed about the joys of processed cheese? Well, now you can capture your equally earth-shattering thoughts in the Field Notes Chicago Look Edition 2-pack Notepads ($14.95).

Inspired by the legendary Beverly Sign Co. of Chicago (apparently, they were a big deal in the sign-painting world), these notepads bring that atomic optimism right to your pocket. The drawings for these designs were rescued from the trash heap – so you’re essentially writing on historical artifacts, albeit in miniature. Plus, if you subscribe, you even get a “Wall Dogs Forever” pin. Because who doesn’t aspire to be a 1950s sign painter? Perfect for jotting down your grocery list in a font that could be seen from space.
