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

Cedar point is an amusement park in North ohio, very near where I am from. It is a place I am definitely going to seek employment after I graduate. The company that owns them, Cedar Fair, LLC, owns 10 or so other amusement parks around the world.

I have always loved the typography in their logo. The thick informal font, with the wavy baseline certainly reflects the mood of the place and the waving flag pretty much means amusement park wherever you go.

I wonder how much the rights to use snoopy in their logo costed...

A&E TV

This is the A&E tv channel logo. I love how the negative spaces interact with the positive spaces and how this logo can look nice in many colors or styles.

On the way home from the boca campus yesterday I saw a construction company truck called H & E construction who had obviously plagiarized this a & E logo. But it was the nicest plagiarism i have seen in a long time.

Attached is a quick snapshot I took of the book private parts by Howard Stern. All in all I think its one of the funniest books ever written and I think Howard is a lot smarter then most give him credit for. I started reading it over the weekend because on his show (on satellite radio) they are on vacation and playing a lot of old tapes from past years (when the book was written) and it reminded me of them.

My typography point is, (and especially in the earlier years ) Stern had to be so whacky and outlandish to shock people that his stories are enough. It looks like a child's book with the 14 point font used. I think a regular size would have added some class to the way the hard cover looks overall.

Now that he is on uncensored radio, he far more mellow not needing to shock anyone to get attention and I think a better designed style in parts of his book would have caused that growth to come sooner. Does this make sense?
