LiquidTreat.com Courtesy Redesign, Bald Eagles and Whiskey
Wednesday, May 16th, 2012 | Courtesy Redesigns, Designers, Education | No Comments
The lovely folks at liquidtreat.com were kind enough to write about us on their blog of interesting design items and we wanted to share the love by offering them a redesign of their logo.
It’s been a while since we’ve featured a good redesign on this site so here it goes.
Since their blog is dedicated to the world of design they should feature a designers font, Copperplate Gothic Bold. This made a huge difference right off the bat. Since their blog is geared towards the aqua centric aspects of life we added a water overlay effect and an aqua / green color feel to it. Overall this felt alright but it was missing something…a bald eagle and whiskey. When we added the bald eagle and the whiskey to the design it literally screamed off the screen. We had to shut down our computers and restart them so that they could take in the awesomeness of Copperplate Gothic Bold, a bald eagles talons, and a glass of whiskey all marinating their pixels together.
A true liquid treat of a bald eagle gracing you with their presence and letting you know they are near with their cry of freedom and a freshly poured glass of whiskey. That friends is a match made in heaven.
The total value of this redesign was $7,300.00. That included time in the wild waiting for the perfect moment to photograph the bald eagle swooping down to grab the glass of whiskey.
So thank you Liquid Treat, Stephanie and all the folks who made this redesign happen. We took something beige and made it unbeige with a little CGB and some of it’s closest allies.
Put The Salsa Inside My Mouth
Tuesday, May 15th, 2012 | Food, Products | No Comments
Mrs. Renfro has been making salsa for a long time. She also must have many husbands under that Mrs. designation in order to produce enough salsa to stock and supply World Market.
We also know that both World Market and Mrs. Renfro have made the right decision working together and using Copperplate Gothic Bold as their font of choice to market her product. Nothing says chips and salsa like Copperplate Gothic Bold, nothing says salsa like Mrs. Renfro, nothing says winner like Copperplate Gothic Bold.
Copperplate Road House Sold by Charlie Berry
Friday, April 27th, 2012 | Courtesy Redesigns, Real Estate | No Comments
This is a story about Charlie. Charlie is a real estate agent in Charlotte North Carolina. We wanted to help Charlie with his business and found a way to redesign his website to help him sell a house on…Copperplate Road!!! We went to
his site and listing for the house but to our surprise (and probably all of the people looking for a house) there was no Copperplate Gothic Bold on the page!
Boston Barber Co. Trusted By Paul Revere
Friday, April 20th, 2012 | Health, Travel | No Comments
Paul Revere is rumored to have gotten his haircut minutes before making his night ride to warn of the British coming into Boston at the north church. It’s said that he got his hair cut at the Boston Barber Company, just on the sign alone!
Another little known fact was that Paul knew he needed to ride very fast to make it in time and asked the barber for an aerodynamic style to make the journey faster. The resulting hair cut was “the fade.” The barber famously coined the name in this phrase, “Trim if ya time, fade if by sea.”
It was Revered among men at the time in Boston after his ride but was never captured in historical documents. They lacked the ink necessary to recreate the intricate detail of the fade.
This would have not been possible without Boston Barber Co. not using Copperplate Gothic Bold. To this very day they use Copperplate on all their signage. The rest is history.

Chris allard is a guitarist mastermind. So much so that he had british web designer mastermind Dave Hall www.icanmakeyouwebsite.com create him a website featuring the best font in the entire world, Copperplate Gothic Bold.
You can almost hear Chris shredding away just looking at the header for his website. Just off the logo itself, I would say that Chris Allard is the best guitarist in the world. It’s not an exageration. This is the power of Copperplate Gothic Bold, transforming rockers into rockstars. International rockstars now that we’ve shown the world Chris Allard’s work. So stop toiling away on your rainy little island Chris, the Queen doesn’t rule your life. Take a giant step into the bright bright sunlight that is the world and take your stage, you’ve earned it.
So thanks to Dave and thanks to Chris for lighting the way and blazing the trail for Copperplate Gothic Bold. Your site and your playing goes to 11.

Boston Red Sox Use Performance Enhancing Fonts!!!
Wednesday, April 4th, 2012 | Education, Travel | No Comments
The Boston Red Sox have enjoyed success in their existence as a baseball team and we are breaking the news why…performance enhancing fonts!
Copperplate is everywhere in Fenway park! Seriously! You can’t go 10 feet without more Copperplate. There are reasons why the Red Sox have done so well and the biggest is their deliberate use of Copperplate.
Athletics? No Copperplate.
Nationals? No Copperplate.
Mariners? Are they still a team? No Copperplate.
Brewers? Drunk in left field…no Copperplate.
Montreal? They are part of Canada, Canadians can’t play baseball! No Copperplate.
Yankees? Probably use Comic Sans, no one likes them, no Copperplate.
Our in depth analysis has conclusively proven that Copperplate has given the Red Sox a significant advantage.
This should be a lesson for other Major League Baseball teams considering other performance enhancing products. Copperplate Gothic Bold is the performance enhancing font of champions!
Hebrews Prefer Copperplate Gothic Bold!!!
Thursday, March 22nd, 2012 | Food, Health, Products, Restaurants | No Comments
9 out of 10 Hebrews prefer Copperplate Gothic Bold. It’s not limited to an isolated local anomaly, it’s a National preference.
Hebrew National certifies that Copperplate Gothic Bold is good enough a(nd worthy enough) to be brandished on their packaging. Hebrew National not only has to answer to consumers in the marketplace (but as their advertising states) they answer to a higher power.
So rather than be in “Nathan’s” “Ball Park” when it comes to delicious links of questionable meat (that all happens to taste the same regardless of what meat(s) it’s made of) go with your eye and what old Freddie Gaudy would have gone for, a heaping hunk of Copperplate!!!
