Henry Ford Museum / Greenfield Village

From a recent visit to the Henry Ford Museum/Greenfield Village in Dearborn, there was an awful exhibition on furniture throughout the centuries. Of course I didn't take photos of the furniture on display, but I took photos of the signage the the Museum put up. 

... I think they could have done better then this!! 

What flavor moveable type are you?

I prefer milk chocolate, you can order the moveable type to say what every you want. There are some more cool photos at the website but good luck reading it.

Chocolate Moveable Type



I love the logo above I 'feel' it is a great blend of a logo image and type, I guess that is what its always about.

that's good soup.

You Are Beautiful.

This movement actually doesn't have anything to do with typography directly. But it is a movement of positive self-realization through daily life through type.

Check it out. You are beautiful.

Hooray!

This is right up my alley.

type as form

well this is from the website that steve just posted. i found it last week but i wasn't invited to the blog yet, so now i probably just look like a tool. it happens.

anyway, i think this is pretty awesome. the artist's website has some

questionable materials on it, but obviously i am just highlighting the typographic aspect.

I am constantly on youtube and these are just a few of my favorite videos that involve type. Maybe you have seen this maybe you haven't?

Sans Seriff comeback?

My mom is so sick of hearing about serifs vs. sans serifs (I told her now that I'm in this industry it's important for her to know the difference). I'm constantly shoving menus in her face and pointing out signs and going on and on about the type. I know that sans serifs are very legible and have their place in signs and advertising, but seriously, what ever happened to the serif?! After seeing sans everywhere all the time, they are swiftly losing their beauty. I think it's time the serif made a comeback. Opinions?
