Inspiration
Just some awesome hand made type i found.
A pretty cool collection of logos, Some typographic, some more image based
Yuck.
Usually I like to post things that I find to be inspiring, but this week i'm posting something that I feel to be an absolute type disaster.
Some sort of crunchy looking type, a serif type, comic sans?, and then a san serif.
Why? Just, why?

Type Inspiration Week 9
This is a cover for A+ magazine done by Martin Schmetzer. You can read about his process here. For those of you too lazy to click the link, basically he did all of the lettering by hand before vectoring it in Illustrator, none of this is from pre existing fonts. How awesome is that? The link includes some of his thumbnails so go check it out.
