  @ CA: Me too. :)
  
  I haven't read any Sherlock Holmes books in a while.  I used to be really into them, though.
  
  @ Yarrun: I think you misunderstand my question!  Justifying reading children's books is not something you should ever have to do.
  
  But why in public? :p

  Because when I think of great logo designers, I think JAY-Z

  
  

  I know he like half-owns the team or something, but still

  
  

  I can't recall ever having read Junie B. Jones books in public.

  Let me tell you. About Fallen London.

  I finished Anno Dracula today. I'd been a bit apprehensive about it for a while because one particularly graphic scene almost made me lose my lunch, but it was a great read overall.

  Seriously, though, couldn't they have at least gotten someone to hand-letter the "NETS" instead of just distorting poor Adkzidenz-Grotesk?

  In fairness, it's a lot better than what they had.  And I think it's supposed to look kind of casual and DIY.
  
  I'm not really into fonts though so.

  ...Is it weird that I don't think the Nets stuff is that terrible looking?

  
  

  I mean, it could all be better done, obviously, but I like the fact that it's not as... sporty as most sports brands are. It certainly looks like the sort of stuff you'd find on snapbacks, t-shirts, et al., which is definitely the audience Jay's going for with it.

  
  

  Maybe I'm just not thinking like a designer right now or something.

  I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat

  ^It is a pretty cool identity in spots. Color palette's not really unique, though; the Spurs do it too, but they have grey in it.
  
  Also the old Nets logo looks kind of generic to me, but not as bad as some of the other stuff of the era.

  Yeah, this.
  
  I think it's decent enough.  Not wonderful, but not shocking or anything.

  Honestly, I don't think it's as bad as Armin Vit's post makes it out to be. It's certainly less generic than what they had before.

  
  

  Distorted type always kinda bothers me, though, because it seems to be a way that computers have made designers lazy.

  Whores! we want "poems that kill."
  Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
  guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
  and take their weapons leaving them dead

  Yarrun: I think you misunderstand my question!  Justifying reading children's books is not something you should ever have to do.
  
  But why in public? :p
  

  Because it's more compact than more mature stuff that, while interesting, wouldn't easily fit in my backpack.

  I used to read MLP:FIM fanfiction in public on my Kindle, but I stopped because it felt embarrassing even though nobody could tell that's what I was reading.

  Thank God this thing is dead, but... bluh. The nine years they used it must've been painful to look at.

  Imi: aw, that's good to hear. Night.

  
  

  Naney: No offense, but the entire point of having a moratorium is that it's not, really. I'm sure you can find some other medium to talk about it.

  
  

  The penalty for the first breach of the moratorium is to submit to a whisker cleaning from a black cat.

  @font-face { font-family: 'helvetica'; src: local('Nimbus Sans L'); }
  @font-face { font-family: 'arial'; src: local('Nimbus Sans L'); }

  For some reason the fact that I care enough to add this as a user stylesheet makes me feel like a huge dork.

  I have my default sans-serif set to FreeSans here, though a lot of stuff will try to use Arial anyhow. 

  
  

  How do you have your user stylesheet set up, CA? I'd like to alias Arial to FreeSans here, but I've never really done the research.
