Back for its second year, CoSign returned to Northside to bring even more stunning signage to the neighborhood. The months-long process built up to a grand reveal on Black Friday, an event that’s quickly becoming a Holiday tradition.
In 1861, Simon Arnold opened a tavern in downtown Cincinnati. In 1853, Christian Moerlein began brewing beer in Over-the-Rhine. In 2013, Moerlein’s brewing operations came home TO OTR, and produced the first Moerlein beer to be brewed in OTR in over 90 years…The Arnold’s 1861 porter.

The CoSign project is an experiment in creative place-making. It pairs independent businesses with designers and fabricators to fill a neighborhood with beautiful new signage. The initiative’s first foray took place over the course of 6 months in Northside, culminating with a grand Black Friday reveal.
