The classic neon Pegasus sign in Dallas, Texas is a well-known landmark in the city. The sign was originally created in 1934 by the Magnolia Petroleum Company, which later became Mobil Oil, as an advertisement for their Mobilgas brand. The Pegasus sign was installed on the roof of the Magnolia Building, which was the company's headquarters in Dallas. The sign was originally illuminated by incandescent bulbs, but it was later converted to neon lighting. The Pegasus sign is an example of the "blade" or "wall-mounted" sign type, which were popular in the United States during the 1930s and 1940s.

The sign was a prominent feature of the Dallas skyline for many years, but it fell into disrepair in the 1980s. In 1984, the Magnolia Building was demolished, and the Pegasus sign was removed and placed in storage. In 1999, the sign was restored and reinstalled on the roof of the Omni Dallas Hotel, which was built on the site of the Magnolia Building. The sign was then relit and became a new iconic landmark in Dallas, even being featured in the popular TV series “Dallas”. The sign is now a symbol of the city's history and continues to be an important part of the Dallas skyline and culture. The sign is no longer on the roof of the Omni Dallas Hotel, but it now resides outside the hotel in a permanent location where this photograph has been taken.
