The Pleasant View Motel features orbs surrounding a four-point star
on its marquee, representing something out of the atomic age.

The Baker's Motel in Zanesville, Ohio features a molecule looking
feature on top of its marquee that looks like some sort of Disneyland
candy. Well... perhaps not.

Here's another motel from Wisconsin. Featuring a shape similar to an
artist's palette, the Holiday Motel looks both circus-like and
simple at once.
Check out the bright colors as they really catch the eye of the travelers and motorists passing through town.
UPDATE 09/17 : The sign was gone during a roadtrip search in 2014. Word is that the sign is now in a private collection. 09-17

Think googie is just a West Coast style? Well, think again. The 4
Seasons Motel in Wisconsin features multiple boomerangs over the motel building
as well as block lettering. Red balls hover on a branch of the marquee to further catch the attention of the travelers passing through.

The Pine Dell Motel marquee is more subdued, but contains a paper
clip like shape in its sign out front. Check out the different font used
in the motel name versus the vertical lettering.

A great throwback to the days of signage creativity, the Flagship
Motel marquee sports double boomerangs and numerous shapes. Still
appears to be in great condition.
