Type Selector

June 09, 2007, 4:03 PM
It took me long enough to write about this most "handy" tool. The Type Selector, created by Michael Wörgötter, is the Pantone swatchbook equivalent to typography. The 226 specimens, which are grouped as Serif, Slab Serif, Sans Serif, Script, Black Letter and Display, fan out allowing you to compare multiple faces at once. It's quite solid, in fact, and will stand up on its own allowing you to keep your selections sticking up for easy reference. I'd call this the most useful design tool of 2006. Good on ya, Michael!

Cult of the Goat

Bock Beer Labels and a Homonym Gone Awry

Devilish goats rear their ugly heads in these sinister looking beer labels from the U.S. and around the world. Includes a little bit of history on where this strange iconography came from.

 

45rpm Record Label Designs

Feast your eyes on this assortment of about one hundred labels and logos dating from the 1950s to the 1970s. I've been collecting these for a long time and thought I would share some of my favorites.
