The Buchhstabenmuseum (Museum of Letters, Characters and Typefaces) is dedicated to the preservation and documentation of letters, regardless of culture, language and font systems.

The museum stands to preserve the ever disappearing, quality, crafted letters and signs from our landscape; as a result it is repurposing old media, giving it a new home, recycling it. Furthermore anyone (museum or not) that is trying to raise public awareness of good type and brings interest to typography as a medium I’m backing!

The museum is based in Berlin and currently visits are by appointment only (you need to contact them to arrange a viewing)… If you can’t afford to go (and speak a bit of German) then check out their website Buchstabenmuseum.de

Crisis of Credit is a video explaining the credit crunch. Love the illustration style but it’s a shame that the voice over is a bit so-so.

Presenting an alternative icon for Mamp in the style of the Adobe Creative Suite.

If like me, your not a massive fan of the original Mamp icon then you probably resent (that’s a bit strong handed i’ll give you) having it in your beautiful dock. Especially if it’s sat next to the CS4 suite. So I spent some time knocking up a quick alternative in the adobe style.

zZz is playing: Grip, is a one take music video shot (live) from above. The concept is for the trampoline gymnasts to simulate video effects (using type of course!). I was going to hold this back for the next crumbs post but couldn’t resist! I love it!

Thought I would kick off this crumbs with NTT Data Autoterminal. I can’t seem to find much info on how it was made (I’m guessing AfterEffects) but I love the colours, it’s an inspiring mix.

Agostina promotional video

Ever since the Soho promotional video, my expectations of how one should showcase a font have risen dramatically. I’m not 100% keen on the actual face, but this is a great attempt at doing it differently.

I survived the bush administration

I knew I had to order this as soon as I had read the description “You’re still here and he’s Gone! Show the world you are still alive!”. Brilliant T-Shirt and only $16.00!

Love Helvetica

I’ve been chatting with Graham about his new site LoveHelvetica.com. It’s fast becoming a one-stop resource for everything Helvetica and off to a cracking start – there are lots of prizes and some great content.
