Thursdays, when I was in college, were a great beginning to a long, long weekend. Strike that, who am I trying to kid? Near the end, Tuesdays were a great beginning to a long, long weekend. These days, though, Thursdays are sort of a tease - near the end of the week, but not quite Friday. You're trying to flex your creative muscles, but you've got some meetings standing in your way. You need something to get your mind in gear. Perhaps some of these can help:
I recently struck gold at a local antique shop, picking up a few vintage and near-vintage type specimens. The above came from the back cover of one. Perhaps you old-timers ordered something from Advertype. Perhaps you passed it headed down Prospect. Either way, I love everything about this - the color, the script typeface, the simple-but-strong address face, the phone. I could stare at that phone for hours.
The above came from a page titled "Monograms" in another of that day's type specimens. Great work in such tight places. There's so much to see in each of these, and every one of them light years ahead of the "monogrammed" towels your neighbor got you for graduation.
There's so much to love about this sticker, purchased at Grandma Faye's Grocery in the Hocking Hills. The colors, the simple illustration, "state bird". Perfect. I wish I had the whole set.
