Welcome to Hollywood

i pass a sign like this everyday on my way to work off on 95 and sheridan, I kind of like the treatment on the y. its sort of their logo. but i dont like how the left arm of the y is chopped off, but the rest of it flows so nicely. I dont know im torn. And im not sure i like that the words "welcome to" and the word "florida" aren't in exactly the same style. 3-4 variations of font or style in one little sign is a bit much no?

What do you think?

I was working on a project in my photo 2 class where i needed to simulate a carving typography style with transparent paper and photo rc paper with an enlarger. I had good results and bad results, but i thought if one were to create an entire alphabet from these organic carvings (mostly just peoples initials in trees)(or sidewalks) it would make for a nice typeface.

also it would go good with out type and image projects....as mine came from sidewalk letters ironically.

I have always likes the font treatment dodge used on their cars. Its industrial, fast looking in design but simple san serif. I have the fonts on my computer and find that (the oblique style especiall) works well with futuristic style designs or industrial looking designs.

I came across this image in a magazine then found it on google. I thought it was anice design and is definitely true

I like the typography from this poster. Its a German war rally poster from a long time ago. I remmeber it from Hist of Graphic Design class and the simple type and nice comp has always stuck with me.

I think this one is up there with the A and E logo. It uses the same play of negative spaces, but I think that this one is less visually stimulating.

I think the reason is that although there is interaction of the background and foreground, they don't interact as much, or as well, as in the other logo in my previous post.

I went to flanigans for dinner tonight. I think the wooded effect on the type of their logo is nice. It perfectly matches the interior design and the mood inside. What do you think
