However, now that you mention it. . . . <BR/><BR/>The "Norm" font looks like Optima and that matches the typeface on the McCain poster. I wonder if that was done on purpose. The rest of Coleman's sign looks like various Helvetica styles. I don't think Helvetica and Optima are visually compatible (unless the designer is trying to set up a visual clash).<BR/><BR/>And the wrong-facing apostrophe is one of those things that happens so often that I think designers (and people who use design software) are starting to see it as right. It's still wrong.David Steinlichthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12603448356360110818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10854093.post-12319974366780237542008-09-28T22:57:00.000-05:002008-09-28T22:57:00.000-05:00Was the apostrophe on the original Coleman sign ba...Was the apostrophe on the original Coleman sign backwards, do you think, or did the clever homeowner like it better that way?Daughter Number Threehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08171356533232458827noreply@blogger.com
