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 | No 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.
Air Quality and Environmental Protection Conference Runs on Recycled CGB’s
Thursday, February 25th, 2010 | Travel | No Comments
No more unrecycled plastic releasing toxins in the atmosphere, this conference releases CGB's in the atmosphere. (much better)
We were staying at a hotel the other day in New Orleans and came accross a conference that was happening the place we were staying. We yelled for joy when the sign advertising the conference was almost all Copperplate. We were also excited about the topic of the conference ,”2010 Conference on Environmental Justice, Air Quality, Goods Movement and Green Jobs: Evolution and Innovation”.
Not gonna lie, I think there were probably more buzz words in that title than were people at the conference but it was a good conference for Copperplate Gothic Bold to be supporting. Especially in the “Environmental Justice” area, Copperplate can strike fear into environmental polluters just by existing.
So thank you conference makers for using Copperplate Gothic Bold to promote your event, we all know that it is the font of choice for showing competence in a given area. This poster shows that you are the all encompassing experts around all things green and evolutionary.
Thanks New Orleans and to answer your question about Who Dat?, Who Dat IS Copperplate Gothic Bold.
Twitter Logo Redesign…Copperplate Makes it Awesome!

Twitter Logo Courtesy Redesign, Look How Much More Awesome It Is With Copperplate Gothic Bold and a Bald Eagle!
One of the ways to spread how great Copperplate Gothic Bold can be for every written instance of communication in the English language and design is through showing it. We take an existing logo for products we wither like or use on a regular basis that have proven they are worthy of being Copperplated and then through careful analysis, user testing, peer review, and a spin through the large hadryon collider we come up with a “Courtesy Redesign.”
These redesigns would normally cost in excess of $50,000 (easily) for work of this quality. Companies contact us all the time about how they enjoy the refreshes and that they will be working it into their new marketing plan. With that said, we have decided to address a services I Love Copperplate Gothic Bold the website has just gotten into…Twitter.
Twitter does an OK job, they’ve created something cool, it’s stuck around, and it’s a unique way to communicate. The problem is, it’s not the way to communicate…YET! So with a little help from Copperplate I think they can achieve that goal.
We incorporated the blue from their current logo in into the Twitter logo redesign. We also stuck with the bird but it wasn’t strong enough. Everyone likes strong things. Popular people, leaders, business people, bears, Bald Eagles. So we replaced the weak ass bird with an Americanized Bald Eagle. We think that they can substitute out the bird with different countries animals. France could be a lemur, China could be a Parrot, Australia could be a Kangaroo, Barbados could be a sick animal. It all helps to establish a strong brand presence in the country that Twitter sets up shop.
So thank you Twitter for the service so far, with this courtesy redesign (your welcome) we think that you’ll be able to take over the world and possibly the universe with the power of Copperplate Gothic Bold behind you. May the twit be with you.

Bald Eagle
Co-Optimus Redesign, Copperplate and the Magical Bald Eagle!

Co-Optimus Just Needed Some Copperplate To Promote Friendship
One of our good friends of the project has a wonderful website on co-op gaming. This guy knows more about gaming than Will Smith knows about aliens.
Anyways hadn’t visited his site in a while and was disappointed to see that Copperplate Gothic Bold wasn’t used as the header for the website. We knew that the website, even without Copperplate, holds up on it’s own. The content on the site is great. However, when we redesigned it and used Copperplate Gothic Bold something unique happened, an Eagle came to the party with the robots and wanted to game as well.
Incredible, I couldn’t believe photoshop it just placed the eagle on the page right after I converted the sites title to Copperplate Gothic Bold. We’ve documented nicely on this site how Bald Eagles are attracted to Copperplate (they are bred that way) and to finish a design and have an Eagle show up was pretty incredible. So Mike, we hope you are listening and see how Copperplate can promote more people gaming on your site. Yet another fine example how if we use Copperplate all of the world’s problems will start to dissappear.
Let the power of CGB compel you!
Campbell’s Soup, Neuromarketing, Copperplate Gothic Bold, Mmm Mmm Better.
Monday, February 22nd, 2010 | Education, Food | No Comments
Campbells Soup Just Got Mmm Mmm Better.
Scooby Doo and you too, look at what Campbells has done! They have now taken the leap into the 22nd century (way ahead of their time) by featuring none other than the best font of all time hands down…Copperplate Gothic Bold.
Primed and ready for consumers to plunk their money down for a darn good can of soup those folks at Campbells have it all figured out using the latest in neuromarketing to help soup afficianado’s find the right tasty can of goodness. In this case, they have used the power of human nature to influence the average person into purchasing their soups through design. Frederic would be proud, he might even say that this is the best use of Copperplate Gothic Bold ever. He just might if he were alive.
In fact, I bet good ol’ Freddy had his fair share of Campbells soup, I would bet a shiny wooden nickel that his favorite above all was alphabet shapes. Although he would curse the Campbell soup folks for not making the alphabet shapes Copperplate. I would not like to be around when good old Frederic Goudy wrote that strongly worded letter to the folks at Campbells, I’m sure it would have been written in Copperplate EXTRA Gothic Bold and would have removed any of the warmth that was left in the soup masters at Campbells. In fact, I bet that Frederic after writing this strongly worded letter got a formal apology from the president of Campbells and free soup for life. I can definitely see all of this happening.
Anyways kudos to the forward thinking at Campbells, we wish you great success in your redesign and let me tell you, with the power of CGB behind you nothing can go wrong. We wish the folks at Tropicana would have taken a note out of your lesson book in their most recent redesign debauchle. Mmm Mmm Bold.
Almond Accents for Salads are Naturally Copperplated for Your Enjoyment
Sunday, February 21st, 2010 | Food | No Comments
Almond Accents are Naturally Copperplated.
Who doesn’t like a good salad every once in a while? Our biggest problems with salads is that they are missing something. Generally it’s meat, who wants to eat a bunch of weeds with some oil on it? Well when meat can’t be put on your salad to make it more useful, there are almond accents. These little gems are almonds with a dash of Copperplate that make them a wonderful addition to any salad.
You’ll notice that they use it in the Honey Roasted title on the bag in the yellow bar under the red. So in essence they are saying almonds are nice, but the extra special touch is the honey and the copperplate that they have bestowed on this tasty treat.
So go out to your local store and see if you can find these copperplated almonds in the awesome section of your grocers salad aisle, because they will be there. You might want to wear sunglasses though, because seeing Copperplate in the wild especially in this context can be a dazzling experience. A good set of sunglasses can help you acclimte to seeing copperplate in the wild and then you can work your way out of sunglasses over time.
Remember: almonds, copperplate, sunglasses, awesome!
The Claw Candy Crane from Walmart, Take Candy From Children Legitamately.
Friday, February 19th, 2010 | Products | 1 Comment
It's like taking candy from a baby, except in a totally legit kinda way.
It’s not a throwback to a Jim Carey movie where he just can’t stop lying, it’s a legit piece of equipment that can be purchased from your local Wallyworld that provides hours of enjoyment. It provides hours of enjoyment because you could literally spend 3 hours just looking at the box and contemplating how awesome the design is.
They literally used Copperplate Gothic Bold and chromified it…awesome.
They took a swooshing red symbol and put jagged lines at the end of it just like the claw you use in the game…awesome.
And to top all of it off they have a pretty kick ass gradient to boot… home run.
So thanks China, thanks for your hard work in creating a masterpiece toy that will be passed down in our family from generation to generation. One day when I’m just a glass jar with a head inside, I will observe my children’s children plunking in fake money and capturing candy with a metal claw. So here’s to you future grandchildren use this toy to learn how to claw your way to the top, and don’t forget the true unbelieveable power of Copperplate Gothic Bold to help you accomplish your dreams. Getting a little teary eyed just thinking about it.
