Iraq and Sasquatch ♥'s Papyrus

An Iraqi blog I ran across had this:


It's kind of an interesting blog.

Then, the lovely and talented Jami P sent this guy in:


Alabama is #8 on that list.

In an unrelated note, this is the song that plays continuously in my head:

GDUSA ♥ 's Papyrus

From Papyrus creator, Chris Costello:

I received the Graphic Design USA American Package Design Awards issue this morning and as I was thumbing through, I found one,

then two,

then (oh yes...)

three winning entries that used our beloved font. (see attached).

I thought you might want to place them on your blog.

I sure would! Chris, I think we know who the real star is here. It's not coffee, oatmeal, or diapers. The Graphic Design USA American Package Design Awards are obviously trying to get in Papyrus's pants... or something.

I don't know. Thanks for sending, Chris.

Lamparts... Lykke Li

My overlord Justin found this in his business card collection and was kind enough to scan the livin' shizbiscuits out of it.


Lamp Arts Inc: We're the lamp champs!

What's that? Of course it's on their website.

Stereogum has been featuring a lot of great news and posts on some of the artists at SXSW. One thing that caught my attention was a post about Lykke Li. As simple as it seems, this video for "Little Bit" was a lot of fun.



Go to stereogum's page for an mp3 of that

RickRoll'D

Evidentially, you'd ideally like not to be RickRoll'd.


It's like a giant, white land mine of annoying, 80's synth-pop.

I can't tell you how many times I've tried to click on a link I was genuinely interested in, only to find that video on the other side.

I'm such a sucker.

Anyway, some douche has his take on it here. (scroll down a little)

Speaking of roll, here's a few rolls of outdoor flooring:


Selling flooring? Use Papyrus.

fo the love of paper

Janet sent us some Papyrus and sends along this note:

for love of god... have some respect for the "craft" that went into creating papyrus:-) This is what happens when you encounter a slashy.... architect/graphic designer:-)

Putting her best face forward, Papyrus welcomes all.

Julia Crawford knows at least two things. One, Papyrus rulz (with a "z"). And two, sharing is caring. She used it on Micheal and Anne Smith's wedding invitations:


Those lucky so-and-sos!

Thanks fer sending, Janet!

Pizazz: For old time's sake

The Cyrenian House ♥'s Papyrus

The Lazy Aussie shared this:

Papyrus is getting a real bashing here, even more than the worse logo!

There's a nice write-up on this travesty of a logo for Cerenian House here, at the blogWorst of Perth.

Thanks, Lazy! I sorta feel bad callin' you that as I don't even know you! Your work ethic may be impeccable.

Fruity Bouquet

Laura took some great pictures and sends us this.

If you ever said Papyrus couldn’t be made into glowing signage because of its crackly edges, then NAY my friend. Edible Arrangements has made it happen for their unfortunate logo...again and again.

-Laura

Well thanks Laura. Stay frosty!
