They Install a Sense of Greatness With Every Job

They Install a Sense of Greatness With Every Job

We were driving the other day and almost crashed the car into the guardrail before we could snap this perfect picture of a fine Washington DC area business, Washington Office Installations, showing off their wares on the outside of their truck. You can tell they have a talented designer and marketing agency because they used gold as one of their colors!
This is the best color they could have chosen because after people see their logo Washington Office Installations will be raking in truck loads of gold from their services.

Not only do they install offices, they install greatness. So thank you Washington Office Installations, your truck inspired us and inspires the millions who drive around the DC metro area every day. We give you the Gold Star Copperplate Gothic Bold Award of Approval.

Getting DMViggy With It!!!

Thursday, August 14th, 2008 | Courtesy Redesigns | No Comments

We used the Virginia DMV to create a dream license plate.

It’s not often we put up fonts unrelated to Copperplate Gothic Bold. In fact I don’t think we have. But it is the essence of the typeface to create beauty in the celebration of it’s glory. Henceforth, the Virginia I Love Copperplate Gothic Bold License plate.

This license plate very easily and succinctly establishes to non-believers that there is much “luv” for the font. Those in the know will honk their horns wildly and with much fanfare show their appreciation for the font.

So thanks Virginia for being so great, for clearing out the Indians off their land, for taking it from the native people and rightly establishing it in the name of England only to lead to this moment of greatness in license plate history. This truly is a great day for the Great Copper”plate”.

Don’t Wine, It’s Copperplate Gothic Bold!!!

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008 | Alcohol, Food | No Comments

The Chateau features great wine and a great place to drink it. Heres to wine, alcohol and Virginia.

The Chateau features great wine and a great place to drink it. Here's to wine, alcohol and Virginia.

One of my favorite wineries in Virginia is a newcomer, Chateau O’Brien. This guy made a bunch of money creating his own businesses, selling them and because he had the chance created a kickass winery on top of a mountain overlooking 66.

When we signed up for Chateau O’Brien’s newsletters we expected the same old “Come eat 6 star chef food”, we were sorely mistaken. Opening my mailbox this morning I was greeted by the sweet serif ‘d pleasure of Copperplate Gothic Bold gently massaging my eyeballs at 8am in the morning! Screw Folgers, this is the way to wake up in the morning and that’s the way to continue doing business.

Our hats off to Chateau O’Brien, thanks for staying open for us even when you had another commitment later on in the evening, for your great Buddy’s Bistro Red and the locally grown apple desert wine. It proves you just can’t “bottle” the excitement for CGB!

An Irish Chipper? How about an American Chipper! I certainly was chipper after seeing this sign after wandering through oldtown Alexandria, VA. Copperplate Gothic Gold abounds in this popular tourist location and all around great place to live. You can’t argue with history and you can’t argue with Copperplate Gothic Bold!
