Wake Up Starbucks, Boston Common Coffee Co. Is Better

Thursday, May 17th, 2012 | Food, Restaurants, Travel | No Comments

Starbucks may have many locations but Boston Common Coffee Company has Copperplate Gothic Bold in their logo. They also have a window on the outside of the store to watch people inside the store pretending to do work on their laptops.

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.

Cheers in Boston to Copperplate

Friday, April 13th, 2012 | Alcohol, Food, Restaurants, Travel | No Comments

Cheers in Boston was thought to be made famous by a TV sitcom. We know after closer inspection it’s because they use Copperplate Gothic Bold in their signage!

Nothing says gift shop this way better than Copperplate Gothic Bold. Amazingly when we were in there, everyone knew our name.

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!!!

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.

Copperplate in Scottland!!!

Sunday, January 22nd, 2012 | Alcohol, Travel | No Comments

We recently toured the great country of Scotland and was pleasantly surprised at the ubiquitous use of Copperplate! The majority of our time was in Edinburgh (lovely city as they say) and we seemed to be delighted at every turn with the unmistakeable and strikingly handsome Copperplate Gothic Bold.

In this particular sighting we found CGB at the “Scotch Whiskey Tasting Experience” hiding in the downstairs bar area depicting the harvesting of the barley. In this particular sighting we can see how the Scott’s use CGB slightly differently than we do here in the states.

In this case A smaller font size can be used to illustrate this very important part of the whiskey making process because the font itself is so strong and so clear. It was also apparent as the evening progressed the symbiotic relationship between scotch and Copperplate, the more Scotch we drank, the more CGB we were able to see.

So thank you Scotland for your thistles, kilts and use of CGB. As William Wallace a famous Scotsman once said in the movie Braveheart, “Tell them…that Copperplate…is the only font… for MEEEE!”

New Orleans Crawfish and Copperplate!!!

Monday, July 11th, 2011 | Education, Food | No Comments

crawfishworld.com

7 out of 6 Crawfish naturally prefer Copperplate Gothic Bold.

We love crawfish and we love New Orleans. We also love when we see an excellent display of a website using the combination together!

In this particular instance the website crayfishworld (most likely a northerner from their use of “crayfish” instead of the southern preferred “crawfish”) has created a haven for mud-bug afficianados to share their experience and love for the most tasty of the crustacean world.

These creatures come in a variety of colors in addition to their natural brown and red markings including blue, white, and red. It’s pretty amazing the passion that these mud-bug afficianados show for these fascinating creatures. The most interesting thing that we found was that the author of the site used Copperplate Gothic Bold for their logo.

This is a natural choice because despite the crawfishes diminutive size, it is quite fierce and definitely American. These factors are both important for the use of Copperplate Gothic Bold.

In a recent publishing of a scientific journal they did a test of mud-bugs and which font that they preferred after being blindfolded and shown two fonts. The two fonts shown were comic sans, and Copperplate Gothic Bold. In every instance the mud-bugs would go over to the Copperplate side, high five the graphic, then go over to the comic sans side and would use all their might to destroy the example. Pretty incredible that these creatures are wise enough to know that Copperplate Gothic Bold is the ultimate font.

So thank you crawfish world, keep up the good work, and may your mud-bugs, crawfish, crayfish or whatever you may call them live a long and crustaceous life!!!
