|a new direction| + |honest logos|

My apologies, faithful readers. I know I've been neglecting this blog. So I'm going to try something different. I want to expand The Font Snob Blog into a place for general design inspiration, not just font-related examples (but, of course, keeping excellent typography in mind). Sound good? Here we go.

Check out these "honest" logo redesigns! (I can certainly attest to the Facebook logo pictured above.)

|hello, 2012|

May your new year be filled with the best design, like this gorgeous lettering from this blog. It is a goal of mine—as always—to post here more frequently. Stay tuned...

|typography 101|

This attractive and informative infographic (click here for the article and complete infographic) by Cliff Kuang perfectly summarizes many typography basics for beginners and helps remind advanced designers of many concepts that long ago became innate and perhaps somewhat forgotten.

The best designs are simple and clever. Like this fantastic Threadless submission by Budi Satria Kwan. I have designed quite a few T-shirts and always keep one to wear, so I already own too many... but this is seriously making me reconsider.
