DayGlo -- is back


A couple DayGlo things from last week's mail. A difference: Wired uses Helvetica, Walker uses Akzidenz-Grotesk.

My favorite noodles

First one: Standard. Blocky. A logo that isn't fussy, it just is.



Second one: More sophisticated. An improvement in some ways. Diluting some of the power, but nicely drawn.



Today's logo: A return to the emphasis on the double "t." Some wiggly noodle shapes added. Weak type treatment. Not an improvement.


Tomorrow: A return to the original logo? Why not!

From three to one



Way back in January I posted about a church sign I liked because it used three closely related fonts. Stencil, typesetting and letter-by-letter sign type.

Well, the sign's design changed. Now it's one font only (Helvetica, rather than the more expected Arial) and it's a big ol' laser print.

Things change.

Nobody Walks! Drive Green!


Two signs on two buses. Double meanings for both.

Nobody Walks! Nobody has to walk -- even people who think they can't afford a car can afford one with our EZ financing. And, nobody but an idiot walks because everyone drives.

Drive Green! Drive a car that is easy on the environment. And, drive a car that is worth a lot of money.

Wholesome life


Wholesome and cool little logo (about a half-inch tall) on the side of a Pocky chocolate cream- covered biscuit-sticks box.
