I saw a fellow by the side of the road today holding up a sign which said "Will Avatar For Food". Tough times.

I also saw it, and had a camera ready.

Seven minutes between VR's post and Madam's picture. I'm pretty sure that's further proof that Madam's primacy at MAD AVATAR SKILZ is unbeatable.

Cheers,

Normally I have a bit of trouble passing an eye test, but not today!

Welllll, that bottom line still makes me squint! But the rest of it is clear as ...... as a pinwheel! Or somethin' like that.

you know, i've always found eye charts to be very graphically appealing. i've got a sort of weakness for typography. that's a brilliant avatar, madam b. as always. and if it helps you pass your eye test, even better !

Finally got the tree up, could only afford 3 ornaments this year so I had to make sure they were special.

zelda_pinwheel · 12-23-2008, 06:54 PM

those are pretty stylie ornaments... i can't imagine a classier tree. understated, yet so elegant. and cultivated as well.

I can never read the bottom line - I think it says 'Printed in Birmingham by Schuster and Sons. Ltd.' but I'm not really sure

I recently saw the film "Helvetica". You'd love it, Zee! I even wear a button now on my coat that says "I hate Helvetica", set in Helvetica, of course. I had to give the "I love Helvetica" button away to a friend.

vivaldirules · 12-24-2008, 10:54 AM

A movie about a font? Were the serifs made with or without CGI?

Taylor514ce · 12-24-2008, 10:59 AM

Yes. A movie about a font. And Helvetica is san-serif, making your question moot.
