Let it swim
A couple found type photos from NYC.
I see a lot of old building and old lettering on top of the building in New York, I just love the way it looks and the texture… (found in upper west side)
H.P. sign in Hunters Pt subway station in Queens that we got off at by accident. I like the different but the same color scheme brown tiles around the letter as well as the letter H and P.
We have a guest in our house this week, it’s always fun to be a host! Hope you guys are having a great week :)
The Art Of Wood Type book by Gregory Ruffa is calling me… as you know, I am obsessed with wood types lately, especially after I got to actually work with them, it is even more special to me! This book looks like it covers its history, how designers use it as well as actual wood type names and collections – all in one. I would have to order one soon… You can see more pages and buy this book from here.
It looks like a big thick book! Cool! (found via Daily Heller)
How fun is this CRAYO-Names – it’s made with re-molded recycled crayons and you can order up to 6 characters for 5 dollars from Story Blox etsy shop. Perfect gift for your little ones or artist friends, type addicts, you can even do a cute message gift like “I LOVE YOU” (extra letters are 50 cents/letter)!
Will be a cute addition to your home office decoration, too. Available here.
We went to see Red Sox vs. New York Mets exhibition game on Saturday and while I enjoyed watching the game, I also enjoyed the brand new stadium, Citi Field‘s designs.
The entrance area:
The first signage I saw – thought this Met’s guy is cool….
until I saw the real (?) one and I didn’t think he was cool any more…
(pardon my blurry picture) All the signages are designed well, I thought. Dark blue and dark red are used throughout the stadium.
Found Number 1:
Nathan’s Hotdog! It was big and yummy.
Section numbers – Easy to see, cool numbers – I like it.

I like watching a live sports game, I like the energy so much. My Dad used to take me to watch baseball games, too, so I always like going to baseball games. Randy grew up with Red Sox so now I have someone to cheer for, which makes it funner and more enjoyable, too! Hope you all had a great weekend!
