This Dairy Queen sign in Columbus was adapted for a nail salon. The rectangular piece was was an addition. The building was adapted as well. [map]

Carol's Dairy Bar was apparently a Dairy Queen originally. The sign has been adapted. [map]

Another example of these round signs with projecting cone pole signs is in Fairfax, MO. There were other ones in Nebraska City, NE and Rushville, NE which are gone now.

The Dairy Queen signs in Newberg and Austin are the only two that I know of with this design. [Austin map]

The Newberg location opened around 1947. This sign had been built by the early 1950s and might have been built when the location first opened. It was originally a walk-up stand. The sign is one-of-a-kind and was built locally. While it has the classic swirl on top, the ice cream is much more compressed on top than other Dairy Queens signs. Originally, the sign had four sequentially lit arrows extending off the panels, creating an "L" pattern around the cone. A fifth arrow was added later. The painted lines on the cone were originally curved and the lettering was squarer. The logos at the bottom of the cone were added much later. In 2015, the Newberg location was gutted by fire. This photo was taken that year when the building was surrounded by chain link fencing. The location was rebuilt and reopened in 2016. The sign was also restored at that time to its original look with curved cone lines. The neon was recreated to match the original rose and white colors. The sign's restoration was done by Eugene Sign and Awning in Eugene, OR. The arrows were not recreated since their original colors were not known and animation would conflict with the city's sign code. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, 3, and 4. [map]

I believe this Dairy Queen sign in Sioux Falls was another modern and unique creation. I have not seen a neon sign with the lips logo before. This photo is from 2008. By 2011, the sign was replaced with a standard plastic Dairy Queen sign. For more, see this website.

According to the the owner, Meredith Myles, this Dairy Queen in Bowling Green has been here since the 1940s. However, this uniquely-shaped sign must be modern or refurbished. Both this and the Verona signs have a modern font style especially noticeable in the "Y"s. In vintage Dairy Queen signs, and even in some of the replicas, the Y's are flat in the middle. This photo is from 2007. Sometime after 2015, the sign was repainted a lighter blue. A new, plastic Dairy Queen logo is now in the spot where the Myles text was. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. [map]

This Dairy King sundae sign, faded as it is, is clearly a former Dairy Queen sign. It is probably from the 1960s or 1970s. These signs are very rare. The only other ones that I know of are in Hibbing, MN and Lincoln, IL. [map]

I believe all three of these Dairy Queen signs in Duluth are modern creations created in a vintage style. [map]
