Not Helvetica. T-Shirt

Justin French

Not Helvetica.

I think I’m actually more proud of this than my original masterpiece (yes, I use the term masterpiece very loosely indeed!). So which font is it?

I will organize some kind of prize for the first non-staffer to correctly identify the font, and I will make the prize extra awesome if it’s a female type nerd who answers rather than a male ;)

    LOL! OK, so you haven’t thought that far! Well, the prize needs to be extra awesome ‘coz I’m a female type… So if I were a male and said, shout me a glass of red – instead it’d be, shout me a bottle of red ;o) I know I should probably say, I’d love a “Not Helvetica” t-shirt, especially as I’m a PC person and a non-helvetica person, but I couldn’t wear a T that actually said it! Plus, it’s worth double a bottle of red. Does that help? :oP

    Doh! You should’ve just said this T was the prize, I wouldn’t have knocked it back! And darn it, I’ll be an ultra-nerd and wear this design with pride.

    I just thought that was a bit too much as a prize! I haven’t got any long sleeve Ts yet, hint hint. In red hint small hint…

    Damn international timezones. That’s it. I’m just going to have to give up sleep.

    I love this. I had a graphic design lecturer who was so in love with Helvetica. If we
    every needed his advice on a font his recommendation was nearly always Helvetica!!
    What a shame I don’t see him anymore. Could have worn this.

    I like this shirt! The original design is good, but I personally hate the Helvetica craze! I’m a designer, but if i told my friends i went and saw a movie about a font, I’d probably get a butt kicking. (I might even kick my own)

    Nothing against the Helvetica lovers, I use the font too, but I refuse to praise it! I Refuse!
