“When non-graphic designers start talking about graphic design”

For sure — the guy complains about the “x-height” of the HULK font, when e v e r y single letter on that cover is a capital. ????!

The new Marvel logos are a bit questionable, design-wise, especially the direction they’re going in with Uncanny X-Force…

Aww are your feelings hurt? Don’t worry, I am sure Marvel is just fine.

“I don’t know who Caleb is, but I just mean the good old days of Mr. McMillan putting more effort into these posts.”

When exactly did that happen?

I don’t know who Caleb is, but I just mean the good old days of Mr. McMillan putting more effort into these posts. I don’t mind if he’s mad at a company, just as long as he makes it interesting.

And really. When non-graphic designers start talking about graphic design — that’s when I reach my revolver. (Self-infliction.)

You mean the days when Caleb would bitch about DC and take shots at them continuously?

Though I mostly do agree with the logos, there’s really not much design sense going on there and they’re very basic and ho-hum to look at. Really just there to tell you what book it is rather than having a strong sense of design, especially in a superhero/costume dominated market. Though I do admit liking the Thor logo just fine.

So… is the point of this blog now just to bitch about Marvel? I kind of miss the days when things were being said here.

Such a great many incredible comics came out today it’s just bizarre to me that this blog is talking about FONTS.
