November 2007 Sightings
November 1st - Auf Der Maur = CGB = Won Der Full!!!
Auf der maur, former bassist for smashing pumpkins is off to make a record, judging by her font choice, it could be the greatest album of all time!!!
Mike Katsufrakis, long time friend of the CGB shot this our way, and we must say that we are "Auffully" glad that he did!
Best of luck on the new CD, keep using the Copperplate and we can only imagine the wonderful new sounds you will bring to this record with the power of CGB behind you!
November 1st - Happy Fall Indeed!!!
Happy Fall Indeed! Nothing goes together better than Copperplate Gothic Bold and a Cornucopia, synonymous with the bounty of the fall. Turkey's go to their deaths to the chagrin of families all across the country, pigs, chickens all sacrifice their lives so we can have a wonderful November.
So cuddle up in a pile of leaves, eat an apple, drink some fresh apple cider, hug a pumpkin whatever you do to enjoy fall and remember the seasons wouldn't exist without the help of Copperplate Gothic Bold.
It used to be that folks thought that the sun revolved around the earth, then folks thought that the earth revolved around the sun, the next big revelation is that the earth and the sun revolved around Copperplate Gothic Bold, the invisible glue that holds everything together.
November 2nd - A Cappella, MySpace and the Bostonians!!!
A Cappella music if you have never heard it is extremely important to the international music scene. It gives extremely talented people the ability to be superstars for the 4 years they are attending college and for the ones that can't get away, the rest of the time they are in grad school. A Cappella also inspires students in high school and middle school to keep pursuing music as part of their lives later on in life.
The premise is that groups audition new members in the fall and spring as old members graduate. They spend between 3-6 hours a week practicing and they sing pop songs with just voices. It's absolutely great, and we think that the Bostonians are great because they use Copperplate Gothic Bold.
So CGB it up friends in Boston, one of America's greatest cities. Keep up the A Cappella greatness, keep rocking Quincy Market, and throw a tea bag or two in the water for us!
November 3rd - Junk Mail? These Guys Have Their Act Together!!!
This is a sign of trouble. I opened up my mail box and this spam message was there! It was written in Copperplate Gothic Bold. This was unsettling because not only have the spammers infiltrated my email filter, they did it under the guise of Copperplate Gothic Bold. This is sacrilegious. What is this world coming to when we can't even trust the font that is the most trusted to show us who is good and who is evil!!!
November 4th - Get Bigger, Badder and Stronger With CGB!!!
I want to be a partner with these guys! They have personal development up the wazzoo!!! You can't mess with someone who is promoting self development and self awareness with Copperplate Gothic Bold. If you'll notice in the picture, the world has a shining light behind it, some would attribute that light to Copperplate Gothic Bold and the radiance that it puts off. We tend to agree.
November 6th - Why Are Elephants Good Workers? They Work For Peanuts!!!
I'll tell you what this posting is ...absolutely nuts!!!
These peanuts were found at the annual AUSA convention in DC. Locally grown and created, and were surprisingly fresh and tasty. The best kind of swag you can giveaway at a huge convention of men staring at large tanks, guns, and armor is food. People get hungry and they need to refresh throughout the day.
We refreshed not only on the Plantation Peanuts, but also on the wonderful font they chose to highlight the wonderful contents within, you guessed it, Copperplate Gothic Bold. Only suggestion we can to our friendly exhibitor is to make sure the products logo you're hawking is near the beautiful font so it can be included on this site next time. Sometimes you feel like a nut.
November 7th - I Hope He Is Modeling Fonts!!!
JG, the man, the myth, the legend is about to hit the world with his incredible new website. We know this because he hit us with coming soon, I can only hope that it comes sooner than later.
The font he chose for the teaser text is fantastic, using a metal finish, with different colors, and fancy edges will bring people from around the world to his management company.
Keep at it JG, we're taking notice, soon the world will. Keep up the CGB and thanks for making Copperplate Gothic Bold that much better.
November 8th - Camelbak is Copperplate Bad Ass!!!
If you ever wondered who made the most badass camping/survival gear camelbak wins the prize. Not only do they make gear that can withstand the world falling down, but they have posters that show the brute force of Copperplate Gothic Bold.
Maximum gear and maximum impact from the gorgeously designed poster that exalts Copperplate in it's true form. Eddie Bauer is history when you have Camelbak using Copperplate Gothic Bold to sell it's badass equipment. Our thirst for Copperplate has been quenched for the day.
November 9th - Fitness Made Simple's John Basedow Loves CGB!!!
Ohhhh snap!!! It's America's favorite fitness celebrity John Basedow! How does he stay in shape and create so many great fitness and nutrition videos? Well it starts with a healthy dollop of Copperplate Gothic Bold.
In this particular example when he wants to show that he can get you jacked up, fix your life, your problems and still have time to hang out with the fans. There is no better font out there than Copperplate Gothic Bold to achieve this. John knows it, you know it and the man in the yellow raincoat knows that FMS and Copperplate Gothic Bold go hand in hand.
We always get excited to Jam out to his commercials late at night and now we have even more of a reason to get up and Jam out to Fitness Made Simple, Made For Real People. Lyrical genius, inspirational genius and font genius. John Basedow here's to the hopes you you getting a statue created and put into the human body hall of fame.
If you click on the picture to the left, get ready to jam out, the FMS song is loaded on his site!
November 13th - Fitness Made Simple, AB's Made Simple, Simple Made Simple!!!
You know, it really would be great to have Abs like that, and now you can because the abs are painted on there! I see how this works, you get the abs by paying the money, getting the shirt and singing the song!
Any ad that uses star boxes to get the attention of the viewer is trouble...just because they are so darn effective. It not only grabs and rivets your attention but the Copperplate Gothic Bold embedded makes it even harder to turn away.
Good John and folks have made this shirt a limited edition because if they didn't I think that Fruit of the Loom would have a run on white cotton shirts for imprinting that they have never seen in all their history as a T-shirt company.
Thanks for exalting the CGB all over your site Fitness Made Simple, John Basedow and the Abs. You have made wearing a T-Shirt "AB"solutely easy to "stomach" once again.
November 14th - Fred Thompson Is Acting!!!
He's acting friends, he's acting. Every actor needs a producer, that's why most great politicians used to be actors because they get it. They really aren't the ones in charge, they just look good in front of the people and sell what they producers and writers give them.
Fred Thompson uses Copperplate Gothic Bold and by the picture it's working. People are interested in what he has to say, half of them probably think they are there for a taping of "Law and Order" which if Fred Thompson loses the B-Roll could be sold to the show.
So any rate, politics and Copperplate also go hand in hand because it helps convey trust, strength and the American way. No other font could do that or even try to do that. Take that Impact!!!
November 16th - The Flack Club, Body Armor Makes You Stronger!!!
Body armor may not seem like a piece of equipment or gear that you don everyday when you go to the store, go for a walk, or for a leisurely jog in the morning but for one friend of the CGB, it is something he wears everyday.
When showing off the Flack Jacket Copperplate GOthic Bold is the clear logical choice. Not only does it keep you safe literally, but the font protects you from bad design gremlins as well.
Congrats to the Flack Club for getting it together and showing off their CGB pride.
November 17th - Stonewall Kitchen Loves the CGB!!!
What's better than a thanksgiving Ham? Copperplate Gothic Bold in the kitchen!
Stonewall kitchen uses Copperplate Gothic Bold all over their site to showcase all of the utensils, pans and other hoiday once-a-year-this-is-why-I'm-buying-this-crap-for-you-goodies that the holidays are known for. It's not just run of the mill stuff it actually looks like the things they have are nice and useful. Thanks to CGB visitor Chris for making this wondeful site known to the world for their treats and for their font. They not only clad their kitchen walls with stone, but Copper as well.
November 19th - Mortgage, Banks, Sub-Prime Mortgages and Copperplate Gothic Bold!!!
We are suggesting a new logo for the mortgage, loan, and free checking company Bank of America.
We feel their current logo doesn't quite show that they can give you the best rate for a mortgage, it shows you that they don't care about you, they live in a stone castle overseas and that they couldn't take the time to find a real American flag so basterdized a version of it.
If you find a house that you like, and you sign the dotted line for a mortgage, the rate at which you get the mortgage is important because a 1/4 of a percent can mean the difference of tens of thousands of dollars. So Bank of America, consider this our gift to you, in the hopes that you can beat this sub-prime mortgage meltdown mess and consider our logo which instills integrity, good will, and trust so that you and your customers can believe in your company. Copperplate Gothic Bold once again destroys anything that some sans-serif'd geeky looking designer in their parents back bedroom could ever conjour up.
Copperplate Gothic Bold, the font so good, you can bank on it!!!
November 20th - You Don't have to Take out a Mortgage to Cover The Price of Our Designs, This Ones On Us!!!
With all the talk of mortgages, sub-prime lending, loans and otherwise bank related things in the news we thought it only to appropriate to keep up the logo redesign for these banks who need a little help.
Their logos are tired, boring and otherwise don't communicate the trust that they need to communicate. The Suntrust logo looks like they cut off a chickens head and put it on top of some letters. Well they can have their chicken and eat it too, it just needs a little help from Copperplate Gothic Bold.
Their mortgages and lending abilities may be fine, and they may make a killing off of their fractional reserve banking practices as all banks do, but their font is holding them back. By making a simple substitution of Copperplate Gothic Bold their logo goes from boring to incredible.
So Suntrust have fun, take our logo gratis, keep offering low rates on mortgages and watch as business skyrockets with this simple and easy to implement "change."
November 21st - A Very Large Turkey!!!
Look at this big ass turkey, even with all of it's size it was still missing something...Copperplate Gothic Bold.
Don't know about you but turkeys are an important part of thanksgiving, this turkey happens to be the largest in the world. Judging by the size of the man in the picture below, he has eaten the equivalent amount of turkey meat in the large turkey above him.
With the approaching holiday it's important to know that Copperplate Gothic Bold serves an integral part of this joyous day and occasion. It helps bring families together, it helps them not fight over who gets the last bit of cranberry sauce, and it helps them fall asleep after dinner.
So for this Thanksgiving, give thanks for Copperplate Gothic Bold. It really does wonderful and amazing things that not only Americans can be thankful for, but the entire world. We're off to go make a tur-duck-in.

November 28th - Cake!!!
Short and sweet...literally. Cake is great and they use Copperplate Gothic Bold. Just let it simmer and contemplate how truly great this is.
"Man is born, man lives, man dies...and it's all vanity." Their new B-sides and rarities CD is great. The lyric from above is from a preacher they sampled and played along with.
Have your Cake, Copperplate Gothic Bold and eat it too.
November 30th - Too Many Sweets, You'll Need a Dentist!!!
After you have experienced Cakes use of Copperplate Gothic Bold you need to balance it out with a little dentistry to keep the cavities away.

Big plans for Christmas and December. We will feature some choice Happykwanzachrismahaunakkahspendmoneyahhh. Some original creations and many great images from around the Internets.
