Plasma and Copperplate Were Made for Eachother
Wednesday, April 21st, 2010 | Products | No Comments
When we think of Copperplate we often think about plasma cutters, steel fabrication, and massively heavy implementations of Copperplate Gothic Bold!
We found this young man out in California who uses a plasma cutter to create cut outs of shapes in 14 gauge steel in a true assortment of products. In this case a totally awesome cut out of E in Copperplate Gothic Bold. So for the ultimate product in the ultimate font we want to thank Fred Nelson for creating this and posting his work online for all to see.
It would be great if Fred made a cut out of “Copperplate Gothic Bold is The Best Font Ever” and then sent one to us, that would be awesome.
Steven Singer Jeweler’s - Shiny Copperplate Bling!
Tuesday, April 13th, 2010 | Products | 1 Comment
Here a fantastic specimen of Copperplate Gothic Bold caught in the wild!
Steven Singer (I’m guessing from the photo) must be the buzz of the spring bee hive with his store emblazoned with his tagline so seductively inscribed on the door in Copperplate Gothic Bold. I’ll tell you what Steven, we’ll pass you the can of absolute whoop-ass that you can “Go On … Open It Up” and lay it on down showing all the other fonts of the world how it’s done!
It’s great seeing a jeweler using Copperplate in their design, they appreciate beauty and things that shine and by using Copperplate they know that their store and business will shine and sparkle just like the expensive rocks and metals they sell.
So give it up for Steven Singer for whistlin’ Dixie and dropping a Copperplate Gothic Bold tune our way by showing he’s got what it takes to be great. To our new friend Edwin Watkey, thanks for sharing this beautiful picture and teaching the world that Copperplate is the greatest font of all time.
Edwin Watkey is a young man who has a blog and in this blog he offers pictures from his everyday life. One of these pictures is included right here, a fantastic specimen of 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 | 2 Comments
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!

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!!!
