One of our good friends of the project has a wonderful website on co-op gaming. This guy knows more about gaming than Will Smith knows about aliens.

Anyways hadn’t visited his site in a while and was disappointed to see that Copperplate Gothic Bold wasn’t used as the header for the website. We knew that the website, even without Copperplate, holds up on it’s own. The content on the site is great. However, when we redesigned it and used Copperplate Gothic Bold something unique happened, an Eagle came to the party with the robots and wanted to game as well.

Incredible, I couldn’t believe photoshop it just placed the eagle on the page right after I converted the sites title to Copperplate Gothic Bold. We’ve documented nicely on this site how Bald Eagles are attracted to Copperplate (they are bred that way) and to finish a design and have an Eagle show up was pretty incredible. So Mike, we hope you are listening and see how Copperplate can promote more people gaming on your site. Yet another fine example how if we use Copperplate all of the world’s problems will start to dissappear.

Let the power of CGB compel you!

Colorado Absolutely Loves Copperplate Gothic Bold.

Thursday, February 18th, 2010 | Travel | No Comments

The fair citizens of the state of Colorado love Copperplate Gothic Bold. We have never visited a town more behind the greatest font in the entire world. We cannot begin to say how much we love the state of Colorado, more specifically the world around Breckenridge. Frisco and Dillon love Copperplate as well.

We’ll begin to post the many beautiful creations the folks of Colorado created but we wanted to start with an original piece. This is a wonderful vista created by a Colorado artist who needed a little help. They captured the idea of bald eagles, mountains, lakes and snow which are all very American. They were missing the essence of America, the not so intangible, Copperplate Gothic Bold.

We love Copperplate, Colorado loves Copperplate and we believe you too will love it. So get ready, get excited, because here comes some new original views of Copperplate never before seen outside the wonderous state of Colorado.

Happy Snowday America!

Every once in a great while we see an image, so striking, so amazing that is one step from truly being a complete masterpiece. Inspired by the ridiculous amount of snow outside that covers up any trace of Copperplate Gothic Bold (the horror!), we did a courtesy redesign of a snowy image.

One thing you’ll notice in this image is the patriotism, who doesn’t love a snowman that holds an American flag. There is a deer right next to the snowman, deer might as well be our national animal next to the bald eagle. Nothing is more American than bald eagles and deer! The Bald Eagle suprisingly enough didn’t fly in for the artists rendering so we put one in there, on top of the American flag.

So here’s to snow days, America, and Copperplate Gothic Bold. Happy snow day.

The Crying Bald Eagle

Thursday, August 14th, 2008 | Courtesy Redesigns | 3 Comments

Today someone did something that was so truly horrible and vile that there was only one graphic that came to mind that could express our deep and exquisite sorrow…a crying eagle.

Instead of getting angry at the arbitrary and capricious nature of this persons request we created an original symbol to express our disdain, a three legged crying bald eagle holding the broken remanents of freedom.

So whenever someone does something to you or a loved one, slap em with a crying bald eagle. Nothing is more sad or depressing than watching an eagle cry. The first time I saw one cry in real life … well … it was one of the most gut wrenching experiences of my entire life. Now you too can bring this level  of sorrow to someone else when they wrong you.

Copperplate Gothic Bold brings home the seriousness of the graphic and helps to elevate an already powerful image to a new level. Without Copperplate this would just be another boring image, but with Copperplate Gothic Bold, it transforms it into a true symbol of sadness.
