A black-and-white ink-stippled drawing of the Bob's Big Boy sign on Riverside Drive in Burbank. The sign is a massive vertical rectangular slab that stands on five pillars. Two-thirds of the way up, a circular design element juts out from the side of the slab; inside is written "Bob's" in large neon-lit letters. On the slab is written "Big Boy original double deck hamburgers". Down at the base of the pillars is a large statue of the mascot "Bob", a large-eyed boy in checkered overalls holding a giant burger on a plate above his head. Off to the left of the image is a sign that reads "Car Hop Service" and "Drive Thru open" with an arrow pointing the way.
A close up image of the ink-stippled "Bob's" logo at the top of the sign. Bob's is written in large letters, angled slightly upwards and to the right, inside of a large dark circle that juts out the side of the top of the sign. The circle is ringed by two neon strips, and each letter of "Bob's" is outlined in neon.
A close up image of the statue of the mascot Bob. He stands on a short slate pedestal. Bob has a short, squat body with a large head, enormous eyes and a wildly swooped haircut. He's wearing a white T-shirt that says "big boy" and over that he's wearing a red-and-white checkered pair of overalls. He's holding a massive burger on a plate over his head in his right hand, while giving a thumbs-up with his left hand.
A close up of the "car hop" sign. Popping out of the top of some hedges, an irregularly-shaped sign reads "Car Hop service" inside of a cirle, and then "Drive Thru Open" along the side of an arrow pointing to the right.
