Rainbow flag designer commemorated with free font family

The appropriately-named Gilbert started out as a font designed for striking headlines and protest banner slogans, and is now being built into an entire family of weights and styles, all of which will be available for free from Type With Pride.

Gilbert comes as both a standard vector font and a colour font, and is perfect for protest banners. Read more here! Get the font here!

Interesting video on design

Keep an eye out for this little documentary 'Graphic Means' on the evolution of Design. Foe anyone who remembers the old ways of doing things it looks like it'll be a fascinating trip down memory lane

Icon issues

I was laying out a mailshot the other day and it came time for the contact details, which needed icons to accompany them. It got me to wondering, we still use an envelope to denote email, though theres a whole generation who have probably never used a stamp.

So I wonder if the old phone will ever be replaced by a smartphone? Personally I don't think it reads as well, but to a new generation who probably never held an old receiver? I'm curious.

LOL!

Nothing like a good type joke :-)
