It’s only six words long. Should be perfect for you.
And you’re right, the effort you have put into this is similar to the effort most people put into ‘not being dicks’. (That’s ‘not a lot’ by the way, thought I’d explain myself, yes I’m talking to YOU)
XD Awesome! Ahhhh… my parents wouldn’t like me parading the word anything with the word ‘fucking’ on my chest though… Too bad, I was looking forward to pissing off all my school chums :)
When I was at art college pre-computers ha! The only way to get decent text was by using Leteraset it was very expensive but my dad worked for a building company and could get me loads of the stuff providing it was Helvetica Medium. The college lecturers always complained about my posters hey I could not afford expensive typefaces. Helvetica still makes me shudder! Pariase be to computer typefaces
“Helvetica was created by Miedinger with Eduard Hoffmann at the Haas’sche Schriftgiesserei (Haas type foundry) of Münchenstein, Switzerland. Haas set out to design a new sans-serif typeface that could compete with Akzidenz-Grotesk in the Swiss market.”
looks like obscure swiss villages are the home of typeface setting.

Then again, you could make it yourself (in photowhore or illustriator for example); then I will send you a letter from my lawyer who will then send Rick Astley to your house.
Hell ? That is the 80’s at it very best and you’d best remember that.
As for your slanderous and grossly inaccurate allegations, they shall not be forgotten. I’d remove you from my watchlist but I’m desperate for friends, even if I have to stalk them. Also, that dancing guy had a nice apartment.
Thats so funny that you mentioned the apartment because i was totally thinking.. hmm nice decor gay dancing boy. Your appreciation for interiors has won you a spot back on my watchlist.
I would have to say the only great thing from the 80’s (apart from my conception) was the introduction of those funky Diane Keaton style pants that have been recently revived.
Eurostyle extended 2 will be the next big one… y’know…when all the yuppies realised you popped up that logo for them in 9 seconds…good old eurostyle extended….

Helvetica is a good font. Cant beat a classic.
Susan Grissom
Too funny. Glad to see your still ticking
nofrillsart
I agree…i would be grumpier.
Lucan Industri...
This is good. And accurate.
I suggest slightly smaller type.
A person I know made a ‘Helvetica Sucks’ tee recently.
Have you seen the film?
Firedrake
HAHA
Yes but is is Helvetica Neue?
Surely that’s not so bad….

Bah, you don’t need to be nice here. This is the second laziest shirt I’ve ever made.
I haven’t seen the film actually. Was it enjoyable ? Is it on youtube ? Is it longer than 3 minutes ? Can I get it on my ipod ? Where’s my breakfast ?

Sadly, This cracked me up. I feel so unclean.

ChrisW – make it yourself, I’ll charge you at least $40 for it.
Lucan – what ?
Danny – your waves of cruelty washed over me like a fine summer sea breeze. Learn to spell eh ?
Scott – YOU feel unclean ? Imagine how the poor bastard who made this feels.
nook
the detail makes it sooooo much clearer. Very necessary. I think the placement sucks.
betelnut
No doubt the cruel hand of irony will play it’s part and you will go on to sell a billion of these.
Go in peace.

Firedrake – Its Helvetica Bold, I kept it old skool.
NFA – I found my coffee, now I feel betterer. It’s also nice to know people still read tags.
Nook – Thanks for noticing the detail. That took me ages. If you have a better placement in mind, make your own bloody version.
Betelnut – If I sell a billion, I’ll buy you your own island or something.

What’s a ‘video’ anyway?
If it isn’t available to download for free straight into my brain then I’m not interested.

I had no idea what was going on without it.

but what does ‘helvetica’ mean? and why do so many fonts sound like obscure swiss villages?

ahh wikipedia solved that one-
“Helvetica was created by Miedinger with Eduard Hoffmann at the Haas’sche Schriftgiesserei (Haas type foundry) of Münchenstein, Switzerland. Haas set out to design a new sans-serif typeface that could compete with Akzidenz-Grotesk in the Swiss market.”
