New Belgium Brewing Company Much Better Than Old!!!
Tuesday, March 20th, 2012 | Alcohol, Food | No Comments
The New Belgium Brewing Company is a lot better than the old Belgium brewing company.
1. It’s newer
2. Old Belgiums look weird and smell weird
3. All of their fonts are Copperplate Gothic Bold
Can’t find it near you to try? Probably because it’s sold out. People love beer, people love Copperplate, and people love new.
Well done New Belgium Brewing Company, well done.

We spotted this instance of Copperplate cruising the fine streets of Arlington. Keep the CGB alive Glebe Market.
The French and Comic Sans have been Entrevé’d!!!
Monday, March 5th, 2012 | Courtesy Redesigns, Political | No Comments
It’s a known fact that if the French had their way they would use comic sans as their national font. Don’t ask us why, it doesn’t make a single lick of sense. It must be for their lack of work ethic, unions, game playing or pension for protesting that they feel that such a font would embody their concept of nationality.
It won’t happen on our watch!
In fact we have an artists rendering of the french trying to use c**** s*** as their national font but Copperplate Gothic Bold coming to the rescue and thwarting (entrevé’ing) a typical frenchman from succeeding. This artist rendering also correctly shows what happens to instances where c**** s*** is used inappropriately. A bald eagle majestically swoops down and carries the word done in the offending font away to be disposed of properly.
So the moral of the story is don’t mess with Copperplate Gothic Bold and never ever ever ever ever ever use c**** s*** as a font, including you France! Otherwise a bald eagle will swoop down and get rid of your nonsense.
There is no beach without Copperplate!!!

Spring 2012: Get Your Free Flowers!!!
Thursday, March 1st, 2012 | Designers, Education, Flowers, Seasonal | No Comments
Spring has officially sprung! In honor of Spring 2012 we wanted to share these free flowers with you.
These are not those flowers you see locked up in cages with droopy stalks and brown spots with sad Sarah McLauchlin music playing in the background. These are American bred, bald eagle flying, meat and potatoes eating carnivorous flowers imported from Detroit.
These are America’s free flowers that we are sharing with you … absolutely free!
Flowers much like Frederic Goudy (RIP) may have picked for his family when divinely interpreting the world’s greatest font (and America’s Official Font) Copperplate Gothic Bold.
Not only are these spring flowers free, these flowers need to be shared. So take home your flowers, post proudly on your Facebook page, tweet as loud as you can, fill the blogosphere with flowers and continue to spread Copperplate Gothic Bold.
The Mighty Sting of The Emperor Scorpion and CGB!!!
Wednesday, February 29th, 2012 | Designers | No Comments
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!!!
Monday, February 27th, 2012 | Education, Movies | No Comments
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.
