Copperplate Gothic Bold

Jonathan Adler Letter Pillow Uses None-other than Copperplate Gothic Bold!

Thursday, March 4th, 2010 | Products | No Comments

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!

Canadian Hockey Team Won Gold Because of Copperplate!!!

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010 | Education, Products | 1 Comment

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!

The Claw Candy Crane from Walmart, Take Candy From Children Legitamately.

Friday, February 19th, 2010 | Products | 1 Comment

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.

Ellezdesigns Loves Copperplate

Friday, February 5th, 2010 | Products | No Comments

Well how deedoo we found this website offering couples the opportunity to have Copperplate Gothic Bold offer it’s powers on their wedding day! We think this is a great idea. If we were getting married again I think we would use their “Belly bands” on just about every surface of the venue. However, we would not use any of the inferior other bands that use fonts outside of Copperplate because that would be a waste of time and money.

I think it’s great that they found a way to give couples the option to use Copperplate in new and interesting ways. Using these bands in conjunction with their other design, or using it to create depth and interest to invitations or other elements of the wedding design is perfect.

So thank you Elle Z, you inspired us to feature you and to share you with the entire world. So world, here is Elle Z, and world this is the power of Copperplate Gothic Bold!

Office Supplies, Paper Clips, Copperplate Gothic Bold

Monday, January 25th, 2010 | Products | No Comments

We were driving the other day and almost crashed the car into the guardrail before we could snap this perfect picture of a fine Washington DC area business, Washington Office Installations, showing off their wares on the outside of their truck. You can tell they have a talented designer and marketing agency because they used gold as one of their colors!
This is the best color they could have chosen because after people see their logo Washington Office Installations will be raking in truck loads of gold from their services.

Not only do they install offices, they install greatness. So thank you Washington Office Installations, your truck inspired us and inspires the millions who drive around the DC metro area every day. We give you the Gold Star Copperplate Gothic Bold Award of Approval.

Spanx You Very Much For The Copperplate

Thursday, January 14th, 2010 | Products | 1 Comment

Spanx are a stretchy undergarment that the female folk wear when they want to slim up the areas that aren’t slim. This is not work that is taken lightly, it’s important work and us men folk appreciate products like this, makes it easier on the eyes when out and about.

I found it interesting, they don’t use Copperplate totally, it’s more of a hybrid pseudo-copperplate font. So we do appreciate the look a like, and we do appreciate the effort so we’ll recognize it. So to all you women folk in the world, this product exists, please use it, and Spanx you Spanx for making this elastic product that takes care of an important task and trusting a pseudo-copperplate to represent your public face to the world.

Yo-Yo Ima Champion With CGB

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010 | Products | No Comments

The world’s favorite toy, the yo-yo, just got a major facelift! This holiday season we were the proud recipients of, in many ways the best gift ever, a real deal, championship quality yo-yo package that included a traditional wooden yo-yo and a fancy light up yo-yo.

After unwrapping the package and seeing the beautiful box and CGB emblazoned on the front we started to tear up. It was a special moment. After trying out the yo-yos it hearkened back to our days in college at yo-yo festivals where we would try our might against some of the worlds best. Competing for the gold, the glory, and the coveted golden yo-yo blessed by yo-yo great Archie Von Yo-Yo from Germany. These yo-yos were all of that and more. So head out head out to the store, keep your eyes peeled, CGB is everywhere, don’t miss your chance to share your CGB knowledge with the lay folk!

Copperplate Gives a Three Hour Head Start

Monday, January 11th, 2010 | Education, Products | No Comments

We were alerted to a company that was selling pre-made business cards to creative types who weren’t able to think of creative things for themselves. We found this interesting and were drawn to, by our estimations, the best seller out of their entire inventory. It’s a somewhat clever way to show that a client will have an advantage by using that particular person. We found it no coincedence that they used Copperplate Gothic Bold as the font to show that they would have a clear advantage over their competitors! Copperplate gothic bold is incredible and this card make sure there is no question as to what the best font to use as.

So continue to be creative, continue to do great things, but remember if you don’t use Copperplate you might as well be the state of California compared to the East Coast, three hours behind everything!!!

Getting Lucky with Some Jeans and Copperplate

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009 | Products | 1 Comment

Isn’t it our Lucky day that Lucky Brand Jeans uses Copperplate Gothic Bold for their storefront. There really isn’t too much to say more about this whole thing other than what an amazing sighting. To see Copperplate used in conjunction with such awesome jeans is absolutely fantastic!

The only gripe we really have with this sighting is that there is nothing lucky about Copperplate Gothic Bold, every bit of awesomeness that it has is by design. There is no luck that this was sighted or created, it was decidedly thought out to use the most amazing font in the world in association with some pretty awesome jeans.

Thanks again to Lucky for using CGB, it truly is a “seamless” experience moving from seeing copperplate into wearing a pair of your wonderfully nice fitting blue jeans.

Pie, Books, Copperplate, What Else Do You Need?

Friday, December 18th, 2009 | Food, Products | No Comments

Oh thank you Emily Martin for creating this masterpiece of literature. Not only did you create some kick ass artwork by making your book look like a pie, but you did it with Copperplate. Authors take note, if you want to get to the top, you must do as Emily Martin did by using Copperplate to distinguish excellence.

They say in entertainment that you must entertain all the senses, smell, taste, vision, touch, hearing, and I say that using Copperplate entertains the sixth sense, the sense of greatness!

Thanks to the folks at Vamp & Tramp you can own a piece of the Copperplate pie, you can own greatness. So thank you again Emily Martin, you are a pioneering woman who deserves every accolade that you receive, every wonderful bit of praise that you should receive. We honor you with the first ever “Copperplate Gothic Bold Award of Greatness”. Don’t look for it in the mail, don’t expect to receive a plaque, unless this site generates more revenue that won’t happen. But we can promise you that you and your work will have a special place in our hearts…well my heart…and that is something.
