Typography of “LOVE” by Robert Indiana

October 7th, 2008  |  Published in Design

With all the current initiatives of getting people to go out and vote for this upcoming November, I got an idea for another DIY project. Thinking of inspiration, I happen to like how the “LOVE” sculpture by Robert Indiana stuck out. One of the tasks I needed to get me started with the project was to find the type used for it.

After a while, I found a post in the Typophile forums which fortunately was the same subject as my quest. From this, it seems that Clarendon Black is a good starting point. Though close, some tweaking will still have to be done by hand.

Anyways, that’s one task down. I’m just hoping I can finish the project weeks before November. It’ll be a nice Design workout.

PS. Here’s a poster of Robert Indiana’s “LOVE” sculpture in NYC if you are digging it for your digs:

Definitely class and still trail-blazin’, here’s Q-Tip performing at The Knitting Factory NY last night to preview his new, upcoming album Renaissance. Other than the show being FREE with a SMS RSVP, Busta Rhymes surprises everyone and smashes the show.

Update:
Speaking of Renaissance, there seems to be a leak of an old collabo that Q-Tip did with D’Angelo. Here’s the track “I Believe” which is rumored to be in the new album. Source via Press Play Fashion Forward.

It’s about 7 years ago since my brother Glen woke me up in the morning and tuned into the news just before the second plane hit.

It was a weird feeling that can never be forgotten.

Congrats Karen and Joesan!

I think I showed this to 15+ w/in 5 minutes. A couple of things we can learn from here:

  • Keep an eye on your kids in the Circle
  • and YouTube is so damn viral.
