Papyrus...again.

[Dottonedan]

I love these customers. Each think they have a knack for Design.    Makes me feel like I must be a master designer.


Today's 4th revision is to change the Font to something more interesting like "Papyrus" and space the title up further away from the body copy. Like a mile high into the clouds.


For one customer, I'm on my 6th revision...with 2-3 design option in each. This is before they take it to the committee. LOL!


Oh well,  It's a good paying job with benefits. LOL. A guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do, but I keep hearing that lil rhyme from Andrew Dice Clay.


"Little boy blue......Aeeeeh,...he needed the money".

We pointedly avoid businesses that use papyrus for their signage. All too common on the CA coast unfortunately.

Papyrus>Comic Sans

At least they said a Papyrus-like font.  Silver lining.

If you like Papyrus you probably make terrible coffee and other decisions.

Same here; I have a landscaper who keeps making changes but then at least he acquiesces to our better judgement. On revision #5 right now, and told him I have to spend the rest of the day on other projects. It's hard to get mad at him, he's a good guy...

Went through everything you just said Dan a few weeks ago, started with the art then to fonts and then spacing etc....when they send me an email that said approve I printed them the next day and printed out the email that said approved and added it to the invoice

hahaha, making fun of people who use this doesn't get old but seeing that g.d. font does.   Bleeding cowboys gave it a run for it's money in the last 5 years though....

funny thing is, we have a customer that owns a restaurant called Burntwood tavern. We print for them almost every month and they use the Papyrus font because it looks like something was burnt. My first reaction was not vary favorable, but in reality it really works well and is the only time I would make an exception (other than old Egypt related art) for that font.

A few months (year?) back you linked a font package deal Pierre, we bought it and so did apparently
every designer on the planet. The name of the font escapes me but one of them in there is used everywhere
now from the Warriors to Subway.

I love building custom type up but at the time I made our current logo we were expanding rapidly and in a major pinch for my time.  So I based the text portion of our co. logo heavily on a font I found on a font website.  Reached out to the typographist early on and purchased the font license.  Distressed fonts weren't in heavy use yet and I liked the light distress but mostly the ability of the font to read at all distances. 

The creator of the type appeared to be doing this as a side hobby and had some kind of rpg angle going on, I figured there was little chance that others would find it and pick it up too heavily for other work.

Well that font is called A Love of Thunder and I'll be damned if I don't see it every other place I look.  Even noticed American Spirit using it a year or so ago.  Argh.

Never using a typeface for a logo again.

Yep, that's a hot one right now.

Maybe just be glad the RPG angle didn't take off, could be worse.

Ha!, yeah....will count my blessings.

Papyrus runs rampant in the flyfishing industry too, because it's "classy and old looking"
