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.

Leading the Charge to Name Copperplate Gothic Bold: "The Official Font of the United States of America"
“America’s Official Font Named by Congress to forever be Copperplate Gothic Bold!” will be the most glorious headline to ever grace our nation’s papers if our hard work is continued!
We are more than happy to lead the charge to lobby this most pressing issue with congress, and quite frankly it’s about time. There is nothing more American than Copperplate Gothic Bold…nothing.
3 reasons why Copperplate Gothic Bold is unofficially America’s Official Font:
1. It looks amazing with the American Flag
2. 11 out of 10 Bald Eagles prefer Copperplate Gothic Bold
3. The synonym for Freedom is Copperplate Gothic Bold
Compelling facts for a compelling cause.
Congress needs to stop the bipartisan bickering, sit down, and agree to something that we can all believe in: America’s Official Font should be Copperplate Gothic Bold. The original creator of The Font was Frederic W. Goudy, a true blooded American born in Bloomington, Indiana, 1865. Fred Dubs (affectionately called by his close friends) was rumored to keep a pack of wild bald eagles in his backyard as pets and used to hand feed them with a homemade elixir of bourbon and moonshine that he distilled in his basement. The birds were completely docile until shown the font comic sans at which point they would go into a complete state of rage and destroy every instance of the offending font. He was also rumored to have one of the largest American flag collections outside of Betsy Ross and the heirs to her estate.
America was founded on diversity and freedom. What is more diverse and free than having America’s Official Font being named Copperplate Gothic Bold?
So please, do your part. Contact your local congress person and let them know that you demand that Copperplate Gothic Bold be named America’s Official Font.
“One small kern for man, one giant leap for American kind.”
Fred Thompson Is Acting!!!

Fred Thompson is acting!
He’s acting friends, he’s acting. Every actor needs a producer, that’s why most great politicians used to be actors because they get it. They really aren’t the ones in charge, they just look good in front of the people and sell what they producers and writers give them.
Fred Thompson uses Copperplate Gothic Bold and by the picture it’s working. People are interested in what he has to say, half of them probably think they are there for a taping of “Law and Order” which if Fred Thompson loses the B-Roll could be sold to the show.
So any rate, politics and Copperplate also go hand in hand because it helps convey trust, strength and the American way. No other font could do that or even try to do that. Take that Impact!!!
Obama Courtesy Redesign!!!
Tuesday, August 12th, 2008 | Courtesy Redesigns, Political | No Comments
Free courtesy redesign for the Obama campaign to help them win, every little bit helps. Copperplate can bring it home.
We generally stay a-political but in this case we had to do a redesign for Obama and friends.
After reading a post on digg about how he is using “A Font We Can Believe In” “Greatest Font Ever” we had to respond with just how false their observations are.
Gotham is not half the font that Copperplate Gothic Bold is. Little known fact is when Obama was starting out he personally called us to ask if he could use Copperplate Gothic Bold for his political campaign. We were delighted that he would choose the right font for the right job.
Much to our disappointment they roll out this crap with Gotham and whatnot. It’s not even a real font, created on a whim by a bunch of GQ magazine hooligans. Everyone knows magazines are simply goofy things that no one cares about.
We do care about Obama, we do care about his campaign and we believe that Obama can do better and make the right “change.”
Copperplate instills strength, believability, and can ensure that his campaign achieves what they are shooting for. We have the source files anytime you are ready.
Ron Paul Mints His Own Money – Copper For Everyone!!!

Ron Paul with the best font in the world, Copperplate Gothic Bold
The earmark of a great presidential race is having 2 fully qualified candidates and really only 2 exist, Obama is one and Ron Paul is the other. Looking at Ron Paul’s website he is spreading the message of freedom and helping the world become a better place, he delivered baby’s for God’s sake, Hillary eats babies who would you vote for?
So in honor of the man, the myth, the legend, Ronald Paul we have donated our time towards the cause of giving him the same boost we gave to Obama and gave him some graphic firepower to add to his arsenal.
The graphic up top does an ok job, they were on the right path picking an inferior font that could in some circles be referenced as being slightly similar to copperplate. Ron Paul is a man of integrity and a serifed font suits him well, so well that we upgraded his campaign to the very best. He can raise money like a pro now we can look like one. Copperplate gives him the tools to spread the message of freedom and to destroy the federal reserve with a single strike of the copperplate.
You go Ron Paul, your revolution has been inspiration for many to get involved politically and as we can tell by the graphic you are the only cadidate who has a bats chance in hell of becoming president. Consider this a contribution to your campaign gratis and go forth and use this tool for good, Copperplate is by far the best font in the world.
As a sidenote we decided to use some of the very best photoshop techniques in the image above. It’s particuarly effective when you look at it in a touch assitive device, it almost jumps off the screen with the highly ornate and decorative “bevel and emboss.” Not many people know about this treasured artistic technique and coupled with Copperplate is a very powerful thing. You may think that there is a shadow behind Ron Paul, but quite the contrary, our readers of the site are so bright that they actually cause the image to cast a shadow. There are no other tricks used, Ron Paul naturally glows like the morning sun as you’ll see on the edge of the photo.
