Cheers in Boston to Copperplate
Friday, April 13th, 2012 | Alcohol, Food, Restaurants, Travel | No Comments
Cheers in Boston was thought to be made famous by a TV sitcom. We know after closer inspection it’s because they use Copperplate Gothic Bold in their signage!
Nothing says gift shop this way better than Copperplate Gothic Bold. Amazingly when we were in there, everyone knew our name.
The Mighty Sting of The Emperor Scorpion and CGB!!!
Wednesday, February 29th, 2012 | Designers | No Comments
Via the twitterpipes and our dedicated audience of astute font-o-philes like @poison_tip we have a wonderful design to share.
The only thing that our friend Adam Fisher is fishing for is more people to help him out with his business because it’s booming. The reason? Copperplate Gothic Bold and the emperor scorpion. Adam smartly figured out that combining the lethal force of a scorpion with CGB is a win-win combination.
Much luck to Adam and may you strike down comic sans daily through quality graphic design.

My eyeballs jumped out of my head… literally when I saw this poster. I had to put them back in after they jumped out.
Clearly the designer knew about our website, F Dubs, and wanted to pay the ultimate tribute to the best font in the ENTIRE WORLD!!!
So not only is GCB a clever play on CGB, it’s also about power people doing powerful things. The perfect choice for using copperplate gothic bold for the font.
Honestly, it looks like a terrible show. But the fact that they used CGB on such a grand scale for GCB is quite fantastic and we want to publicly thank whoever it is that decided on CGB for the font for the show.
We’ll at least tune into one episode for the logo and possibly two shows because Kristin Chenowerth is fun to watch in whatever she does. Thanks ABC, clearly you have hired some truly excellent designers to work on your shows.
Thank You, Thank Me, Thank Us!!!

Nothing says “Thank You” like Copperplate Gothic Bold.
We received this most excellent card a few weeks ago and it needed to be recorded as a fantastic example of the power and elegance of CGB. Nothing more is really needed to say other than thank you to the designer of this card and thank you to the person who gave it.
In essence we are also thanking all the amazing people who have helped us document CGB over the years. So thank you’s all around.

Now Hiring Awesome People, So Diverse
Look how seriously awesome this graphic is. Not only did they underline “Now Hiring”, but they assembled an incredibly visually talented looking group of diverse people. This company is dead serious about landing a candidate who looks like they are different than their peers. Copperplate Gothic Bold is the only font that might be able to handle a task like this.
Jobs may be hard to come by in today’s job market but if you are an employer hiring, and you need people, using a graphic like this would be a sure-fire way to solve all of your hiring and recruitment needs.
In fact, go ahead and cancel all the job fairs, all the recruiters at your company, all the needless “headhunters”. Creating a graphic like this will solve your hiring dilemma.
So way to go whoever you are company, you clearly have used Copperplate in a brilliant and effective way.
Get Married … Forever!!!
Monday, September 13th, 2010 | Courtesy Redesigns, Education | No Comments
While stumbling through the internets I saw a couple who decided to make sure that their nuptuals would last forever! By using a wedding monogram featuring copperplate gothic bold they have sealed the deal before even having to say I do!
The choice of Copperplate is a fantastic way to show your guests that you are completely serious about your love. This no nonsense sensibility flies in the face of the latest wedding divorce rates and says for sure definitively, this won’t be us.
So thank you Cara and Evan for showing how strong and determined you are to be successful in your marriage. You can show people even more with a gobo light rental to show on the dancefloor in brilliant light how beautiful your marriage will be. We love your wedding monogram and hope the best for you in a long and happy life together!
Jodie Foster & The Movie Panic Room Love Copperplate Gothic Bold!

The Panic Room and Jodie Foster Love Copperplate Gothic Bold
Look at this the Panic Room and the wonderful actress Jodie Foster are using Copperplate Gothic Bold to open their movie. I don’t know if there is any stronger entrance that could possibly be used, big buildings and a super sized spoonful of Copperplate Gothic Bold!
I think the greatest part of this entrance is the fact that they suspended Copperplate Gothic Bold in between all of the buildings so that the inhabitants could take in the amazingness that Copperplate has to offer. Exquisitely placed serifs, strong and supreme lines, elegant and artistic kerning. Kudos to the films producer and to Copperplate Gothic Bold officianado Jodie Foster for making sure that this movie would kick ass from the opening credits through the entire movie.
We would personally like to thank our friend from down south Veronicá Calderón http://www.verocalder.cl/ for letting us know about this exquisite find in a major motion picture. The CGB empire grows!
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
A three hour head start in life with Copperplate Gothic Bold is much appreciated.
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!!!
9 of 10 Absinthe Drinkers Agree, CGB on the Rocks?

Wormwood Society Absinthe Drinkers - Love CGB
Looking for a food recipe we stumbled across this site for people who really really really love Absinthe. They love it so much they built an entire non-profit around the dissemination of quality Absinthe information. Rooting out many commonly held myths about the liqueur. Similar to our cause of promoting Copperplate, and dispelling the myths of the artsy fartsy types that Copperplate has no place in the font world.
So thank you to the Wormwood Society for existing and promoting the herbal (sometimes) green liqeur that seems to have so much mystery and history surrounding it. It’s only proper that you decided to use Copperplate Gothic Bold throughout your design, the other liqeurs of the world are surely green with envy.
