NBC’s “Sing Off” has gone and pissed us off!

Here are the facts:

1. A cappella is awesome
2. Copperplate is amazing
3. Not using Copperplate for an ACappella show was the worst idea ever, you might as well develop a show around kicking baby puppies, and that’s horrible!

Is it a coincidence that the three letters that are the initials for Copperplate Gothic Bold are CGB? No, it was on purpose, those are valid musical notes.

Is it a coincidence that Frederic Goudy invented beatboxing? No sir-ee-doo-bob.

Is it a coincidence that the perfectly shaped serifs used in Copperplate Gothic Bold are much like the uniquely crafted vocal lines used to express the underlying song in A Cappella? That’s easy…NO!!!

Is it a coincidence that the perfect temperature to enjoy CGB is 98 degrees? Or that the show’s host is Nick Lachey, big NO!

NBC, you missed the boat, big time. Not even T-pains appreciative song about you putting him on a boat can save you now. So cancel the show, try again, and next time think before you jump in the pool, the pool of Copperplate Greatness! This is a great start for you a courtesy redesign of your beloved host with a much improved simple but effective logo to promote your show. We just ask that you include Exit 245 next time.
