The Mighty Sting of The Emperor Scorpion and CGB!!!

Wednesday, February 29th, 2012 | Designers | No Comments

Emperor Scorpion Design Adam Fisher

Via the twitterpipes and our dedicated audience of astute font-o-philes like @poison_tip we have a wonderful design to share.

The only thing that our friend Adam Fisher is fishing for is more people to help him out with his business because it’s booming. The reason? Copperplate Gothic Bold and the emperor scorpion. Adam smartly figured out that combining the lethal force of a scorpion with CGB is a win-win combination.

Much luck to Adam and may you strike down comic sans daily through quality graphic design.

GCB = CGB = Watch TV!!!

Copperplate Gothic Bold CGB Kristin Chenowerth

My eyeballs jumped out of my head… literally when I saw this poster. I had to put them back in after they jumped out.

Clearly the designer knew about our website, F Dubs, and wanted to pay the ultimate tribute to the best font in the ENTIRE WORLD!!!

So not only is GCB a clever play on CGB, it’s also about power people doing powerful things. The perfect choice for using copperplate gothic bold for the font.

Honestly, it looks like a terrible show. But the fact that they used CGB on such a grand scale for GCB is quite fantastic and we want to publicly thank whoever it is that decided on CGB for the font for the show.

We’ll at least tune into one episode for the logo and possibly two shows because Kristin Chenowerth is fun to watch in whatever she does. Thanks ABC, clearly you have hired some truly excellent designers to work on your shows.

Nothing says “Thank You” like Copperplate Gothic Bold.

We received this most excellent card a few weeks ago and it needed to be recorded as a fantastic example of the power and elegance of CGB. Nothing more is really needed to say other than thank you to the designer of this card and thank you to the person who gave it.

In essence we are also thanking all the amazing people who have helped us document CGB over the years. So thank you’s all around.
