    I read "Nationals Park" as "National Park" and it didn't quite make sense at first.

    ^^ Ohio uses it more extensively than they used to, and Kentucky uses it for new signage, though there's still a lot of FHWA left mixed in with it.

    Also AARoads is only half-working right now, bluh.

    Colorado doesn't seem to use it anywhere.

    No one would mess up pizza.

    ...now I want pizza.

    Sorry ^_^

    It's all right...I'll just have to make do with what food I've got.
  • Well, I could come and bring you a pizza if you want.

    Now, I-75 Northbound...

    Kentucky welcome sign. Nothing special, really.

    A Hal Rogers Parkway "shield" on a guide sign.
    Notice the inclusion of the "Kentucky: Unbridled Spirit" logo.

    These signs were all throughout Kentucky. The "don't get a ticket" amuses me, for some reason.

    I didn't notice when I took the picture, but "KY 922" is capitalized and "Ky 418" is not and it's going to drive me mad.

    7 1/4 miles seems like a really weird distance for a guide sign.

    "Follow Bluegrass Parkway for Bluegrass Parkway."
    No, really?

    And finally, the ramp to I-71 south was closed when we went through there, so I just had to get a picture.

    ^^^That last one's sky looks rather polluted.

    It does look polluted, but I think it was actually just because it was still very wet and dark/cloudy out from the big storm that had just passed.

    That dark grey spot my camera leaves on everything doesn't help.

    SANDBOXES
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    When I was a kid I got a wooden splinter in my finger while playing in a sandbox.

    That's what sandboxes mean to me. Bastards.

    I used to take a shovel into the sandbox and smooth out various "roads" for my Matchbox cars. I'd have a lot of fun, too, because I could start with just one two-lane road, then deem it "insufficient" and widen it to four lanes, and add bypasses and everything. It was a lot of fun.

    Of course, I ended up ruining a bunch of Matchbox cars by getting sand all up in them, but it was worth it.

    The National Road in 1908.

    This is what would eventually become US 40, which in turn was the predecessor to Interstate 70.

    I am supposed to design the logo for something at mother's workplace. All I have to go on is that it is to have a purple background and have a set of initials.

    I should be off working on making it, I guess.

    Well, at least you have something you can put your creativity towards.

    ...Is it weird that I would kinda like to see the finished product?
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    No.

    I'm not sure with PSE being my only tool that it will turn out very well. (Mother seems to think I want to finish it quickly, but no. I am leaning towards standby Myriad for the type, even though that's used so often it will probably lack any impact.)

    The Broad Street bridge (US 40) under construction in 1990.

    Seeing this is weird to me; that bridge was finished shortly after I was born and it sorta feels like it's always been there.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Cool picture. 1990 - I can very vaguely remember that year.

    Also the building to the far left on the far side of the river is (what I assume to be) Central High School, which was abandoned at the time. Parts of the building were later incorporated into the new Center Of Science & Inudstry (COSI) in 1999.

    Or not, looks like that building's a little too far north/west. Whatever it was, it's gone now.
  • Listen up. I know the shit you’ve been saying behind my back. You think
    I’m stupid. You think I’m immature. You think I’m a malformed, pathetic
    excuse for a font. Well think again, nerdhole, because I’m Comic Sans,
    and I’m the best thing to happen to typography since Johannes fucking
    Gutenberg.


    You don’t like that your coworker used me on that note about stealing
    her yogurt from the break room fridge? You don’t like that I’m all over
    your sister-in-law’s blog? You don’t like that I’m on the sign for that
    new Thai place? You think I’m pedestrian and tacky? Guess the fuck what,
    Picasso. We don’t all have seventy-three weights of stick-up-my-ass
    Helvetica sitting on our seventeen-inch MacBook Pros. Sorry the entire
    world can’t all be done in stark Eurotrash Swiss type. Sorry some people
    like to have fun. Sorry I’m standing in the way of your minimalist
    Bauhaus-esque fascist snoozefest. Maybe sometime you should take off
    your black turtleneck, stop compulsively adjusting your Tumblr theme,
    and lighten the fuck up for once.




    People love me. Why? Because I’m fun. I’m the life of the party. I bring
    levity to any situation. Need to soften the blow of a harsh message
    about restroom etiquette?

    SLAM. There I am. Need to spice up the directions to your graduation party? WHAM. There again. Need to convey your fun-loving, approachable nature on your business’ website? SMACK. Like daffodils in motherfucking spring.


    When people need to kick back, have fun, and party, I will be there,
    unlike your pathetic fonts. While Gotham is at the science fair, I’m
    banging the prom queen behind the woodshop. While Avenir is practicing
    the clarinet, I’m shredding “Reign In Blood” on my double-necked
    Stratocaster. While Univers is refilling his allergy prescriptions, I’m
    racing my tricked-out, nitrous-laden Honda Civic against Tokyo gangsters
    who’ll kill me if I don’t cross the finish line first. I am a sans
    serif Superman and my only kryptonite is pretentious buzzkills like you.




    It doesn’t even matter what you think. You know why, jagoff? Cause I’m
    famous. I am on every major operating system since Microsoft fucking
    Bob. I’m in your signs. I’m in your browsers. I’m in your instant
    messengers. I’m not just a font. I am a force of motherfucking nature
    and I will not rest until every uptight armchair typographer cock-hat
    like you is surrounded by my lovable, comic-book inspired, sans-serif
    badassery.




    Enough of this bullshit. I’m gonna go get hammered with Papyrus.

    There is absolutely no reason you would need a double-neck to play Reign in Blood. Trust me.

    ^^But I'm supposed to be working on a logo!

    ...What I have whipped up now seems good enough, but very uninspired and made-quick. (It is the initials in a purple circle, set in Myriad Bold Condensed; the other typeface I tried, two variants on Adobe Garamond Pro, struck me as seeming too conservative and corporate, even though the logo is to serve at some capacity in an office building)

    Well, it sounds like you don't really have a lot to work with. Are the initials all you have to go on?
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    That and the color and shape.
  • You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    Yeah, then what you have is probably good enough.

    (...he said, without ever having seen it)
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    I'm not sure I should share it, but I figure it is not likely to be seen by anyone but you, me, mother, and her co-workers. I'll PM it to you if I/you want to.

    Anyway, there's this site called CR8-A-PL8 that supposedly offers semi-realistic replica license plates. But they apparently don't look very authentic.
