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.
The Best Font Ever 2009…Copperplate Gothic Bold
Tuesday, December 29th, 2009 | Courtesy Redesigns, Education | 1 Comment
While I was over at http://justcreativedesign.com/2009/03/04/the-top-100-best-fonts-of-all-time/ I noticed that designer Jacob Cass put together a few lists of the most popular fonts of all time. Noticeably down on the list was Copperplate Gothic Bold at… 60…(crickets). That’s right, he must have just creatively made up 59 other worthless fonts to be placed in front of Copperplate Gothic Bold. He must have also creatively made up all the nonsense about other fonts being better all throughout his internet postings, we couldn’t bear to see these other fonts getting the glory!
We also noticed his logo was in need of help so we’ve included a redesign for his logo free of charge as a professional courtesy! It truly rocks if we do say so ourselves, instead of crying his logo sings in it’s new color palette and fontscape of Copperplate Gothic Bold.
So we’ve created a special post for the “Best Font Ever 2009″ edition. Unanimous voting has decided that out of the millions of fonts available all over the world, that the Best Font Ever 2009 edition award goes to…..
Copperplate Gothic Bold
So put on your party hats ladies and gentleman, fire up the hookah, and let’s celebrate like it’s 1999 because Copperplate Gothic Bold has won the Best Font Ever award for the 2009th year in a row. So spread the good news and let’s defeat the support of any other font other than CGB in 2010!
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.
Antiques? No, Chairlooms.
Monday, December 14th, 2009 | Products | 1 Comment
When you think of old, you think of the stale stench that usually wafts out of your grandparents house. But when you think of something of value you think of the term “chairloom”, something that someone else has sat on that has value because of the people who sat on before it.
We were so excited to see that the folks at chairloom were using Copperplate Gothic Bold to endorse their work. The old lady there looks like she is really excited about the chair she is presenting so the only font worthy of it would be Copperplate Gothic Bold.
We believe that the lady featured in this picture is none other than Martha Washington, the inventor of the American easy chair. It is a little known fact that her husband George Washington was a big fan of the easy chair and used to buy them frequently as a real estate dealer when he lived in Old Town Alexandria.
So when you think that you have something of value lying around the house, and it happens to be a chair, you should look it up, it might just be a “Chairloom” and worthy of Copperplate Gothic Bold!
Copperplate Gothic Bold on a T-shirt!!!
Wednesday, December 9th, 2009 | Products | No Comments
If you ever wondered what it would be like to have Copperplate Gothic Bold on your very own T-Shirt you certainly have found one way to do it. We found a shirt that features (not in the right order) fonts that have been deemed cool by the creator of the shirt at one point or another.
I think the shirt should be re-ordered to “We’ve Supported Copperplate Gothic Bold all the way through it being cool and beyond.” This version of the shirt would be much more accurate and a better asset.
We do agree with the last statement that comic sans is pure crap. There has been no use or value for that font. If a font could be used to indicate failure, we believe that comic sans might be that font.
To wrap this post up we thought we would feature this shirt for it’s attempt at making a statement. That Copperplate Gothic Bold is the best font ever created and that all other fonts are inferior. This shirt doesn’t come out and say it directly, but it’s plausible for sure. So fire up the copper tea kettle and pick up a T for two and celebrate Copperplate Gothic Bold, you’ve earned it.
