Remodel Your House, Remodel Your Life
Well pinch my arm and call me Sally look what we have here, a beautiful Copperplate Gothic Bold sighting!
This one was from our recent trip to the beautiful republic of Colorado. These folks had their truck parked right next to a snowbank offering their services for remodeling. I’m not a betting man, but I’m willing to venture that these guys do great work. Just look at the logo itself, black and red…very strong colors… just like their very strong choice of font. Giving direction to the directionless is what these contractors do and their red line is moving forward towards a completed project all you have to do is call.
So thanks Remodeling Remedies (you’re welcome for the link, we are generous with the love for supporters of the Copperplate revolution.) May you thrive and prosper in the beautiful town of Breckenridge helping people remedy their houses and their lives.
Empire Burger in Breckenridge, Colorado…Best Sign Ever
Monday, March 15th, 2010 | Travel | No Comments
Empire Burger, Breckenridge CO Should Win the Sign Award
Empire burger is a restaurant in the wonderful ski town of Breckenridge, Colorado. The fascinating thing about Breckenridge is that the people of this fair town love to use Copperplate for their store fronts and signage, this is the perfect example.
Look at how the letters literally pop off the carved wood inviting you in to try their hamburgers. While we were here we didn’t have the chance to stop in to try their burgers, but I can only tell you that the people inside looked very happy and well fed. A restaurant like this that uses Copperplate can only offer the best in hamburgers. So without actually trying, we’re ready to give Empire Burger the title “World’s Best Hamburger” without even trying just based on their sign, the power of Copperplate!
So thank you Empire Burger for your beautiful sign and thank you for your beautiful burger creations. We can only hope that your empire makes it accross the country so we can try your hamburgers for real.
Go Ahead Pull My Teeth Out

Was at the dentist the other day and noticed the candle on the desk of his office had Copperplate Gothic Bold on it.
This is awesome.
Not only is he a good dentist but he has amazing tastes. Reminds me of the recent advertisement that I heard that 9 out of 10 dentists prefer Copperplate Gothic Bold. So thank you Dr. Dentist and subconsciously your office shows the excellence of your work.

Jonathan Adler Letter Pillow Uses None-other than Copperplate Gothic Bold!

Jonathan Adler Should Get A Cross-Stitching Medal of Honor for This Masterpiece
Our new friends over at Jonathan Adler use Copperplate Gothic Bold in their pillow designs! These things are freaking hand made in Peru by skilled artisans who not only did one hell of a job recreating Copperplate, but took Copperplate to another level.
We were unaware of Jonathan Adler until we spotted some negative words that we will not reprint here from some very snooty people on Twitter. These people are the kinds of folks who believe that Helvetica and Bickham Script are the best fonts in the world. We’re here (and Jonathan Adler here in spirit) are here to tell these folks that they better enjoy using their so called “designer” fonts because Copperplate in it’s incredible glory will outshine their fonts to the point where clients will demand Copperplate.
So thank you Jonathan for choosing such a wonderful font to showcase your Peruvian artisans, you earn the Copperplate Gothic Bold award of Amazement for the week!
Caribou Coffee Logo Redesign…Redesigned!
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010 | Courtesy Redesigns | 2 Comments
Sometimes little tweaks can help a lot. Here is our redesign or their redesign. Copperplate FTW.
Sometimes redesign ideas are only half thought through. We found this to be the case with the latest Carribou Coffee logo redesign. Instead of thinking all the way through, they missed the most important part. The font choice for the actual name of the company doesn’t match the new design!
That’s where we come in. We have offered up our new redesign of their redesign to help set them on the path of true glory before they make the mistake of branding everything they own with a half baked idea.
In our new design clearly you can read the name of the company, it offers a strong, sleek, clear voice to their brand and their company. It matches the moose they have running off into the horizon. The moose might not have to run away from the logo this time, instead it may lay down to take a nap right on top of the name of the company.
So you’re welcome Carribou Coffee. We’ve even added an extra R into your name because you must have left it off in your first and second design. Everyone knows the name of the company has two R’s in it, stop confusing people. Once again Carribou Coffee you’re welcome.
That leaves the score: Copperplate +12 v. Non-Copperplate -23
Canadian Hockey Team Won Gold Because of Copperplate!!!
Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010 | Education, Products | 1 Comment
Canada is Grateful for Their Hockey Team and Copperplate Gothic Bold for Winning Them the Gold!
The only reason why the Canadian Hockey team won the gold medal in the Olympics is because they used Copperplate Gothic Bold on their jerseys. We cannot think of any other reason than that as to why Canada won. This is perhaps the greatest example of recent times as to the dominance and the edge that Copperplate Gothic Bold gives to those who use it.
America should be ashamed for not having the foresight to anticipate the need for the extra help they would need in the finals. The least they could have done was create a separate final round jersey with Copperplate, that would have been logical.
You can’t deny that Copperplate was the extra man on the ice, silently urging players that they could achieve greatness, that they could dig just a little bit deeper to come up with a win.
Lets not underestimate those polite, beaver loving, Mountie policed, maple sugar high, tree hugging, moose eating, plaid wearing folks to the north. They knew exactly what they were doing in their national teams jersey design and let this be a lesson for the upcoming 2014 Olympics in Sochi, if you want to win you got to use Copperplate Gothic Bold!
Thanks to @pheriannath for this amazing find!
Rainforest Biodiversity Starts With a Font

Rainforest Diversity Starts With the Right Font...Choose Wisely
The first thing about rainforest biodiversity is that you must choose the right font to be the face of your efforts, we’re happy to say these folks chose wisely.
Copperplate is a strong font, no denying that. Look at how happy the birds are, a big bird and small bird flying high above Copperplate and the name of the logo. The tree is interesting because if it weren’t for their efforts this sickly looking tree wouldn’t be able to live, because it would be destroyed just because it’s different.
So thank you Rainforest Biodiversity Group, your efforts are much appreciated and noticed.
