Let it swim
Randy sent me a link to lots of awesome typographic package designs — very inspiring! I would suggest checking it out, there are some great designs.
This one looks like it’s been letterpressed:
I would love to design and print something for packages. The typographic design is great on this, too.
and wood type inspired package design for eggs. If I see this at the market, I would buy these eggs for sure.
Check out more great package designs here.
Three Potato Four has some really cool vintage letters that I just want to buy them all…
British Bus Rollsign Route Numbers:
George P. Crump, M.D. Sign (kind of random, but how awesome to have this at your home?):
Farm Produce Roadside Stand Signs (so great!):
and this is really cute, I want one so badly… Perpetual Desk Calendar:
(images are from Three Potato Four)
Tons more cool letters and non-letters at Three Potato Four shop — what will you find?
Good morning! I hope you all had a nice 4th of July weekend… Happy Birthday, America :)
This morning, I am really inspired by the ecofont (created by SPRANQ): this font has white holes as you see and uses 20% less ink than usual. So your ink cartridges (or toner) could last longer. I might start using this font for my estimates and invoices… what a smart idea! It is totally ledgible, nice sans-serif font, too.
Available from T26 here or ecofont website here. Enjoy and save ink!
Happy Friday, everyone! and it’s the 4th of July weekend!
For the happy holiday weekend, I’ll bring something from happy place… the Disneyland. yay. I love it there and it’s been more than 6-7 years since the last visit so I really wanted to spend a day there while we were in LA… :) This time, though, I looked at more designs and types and I was actually really amazed how well everything is designed and put together. It must have been so fun to work on the designs at Disneyland…
The entrance: this image here is a bit small to read, but it says “Population 500,000,000” — is that how many people Disneyland can hold? Also says “Elevation 138 feet”
Cute postal box:
aww Churros… Love this design!
I know this font, it fits the restaurant.
Jedi Training Academy (!!) — I thought the logo is pretty cool. and yes, I am a Star Wars fan.
(look at all the jedi-to-be!)
Nice wood sign.
Hand-drawn (I think) sign.
and one of the Disney classics… Pirates of the Caribbean. (The ride had some new additions.)
Love this waiting line information board.
The reflection was kind of crazy, but I thought this poster was cool.
One of many bathroom signs. They were all different in each different area.
and another Disney classic… Haunted Mansion sign. (I also know this font, but the decoration around the sign really makes it)
While waiting in a line, looking at these were fun — simple and designed well.
Another nice sign on wood.
Big Thunder Mountain Rail Road!
The Happiest Turkeys on Earth! Seriously. (read the descriptions) Happy turkeys get very cool sign, too.
These are so well designed and I thought it would make a great letterpress poster… I want to print something like this soon…
Very cool.
A big letter R from Disney’s California Adventure:
San Francisco wall art… (I miss you, SF)
Another great Churros stand design. Color combination is awesome.
Hope you enjoyed my finidings… wishing you all a happy 4th of July weekend!!! See you on Monday :)
