St. Bride Library

Today we visited St.Bride library where we heard a story how printing was invented. I took few pictures inside and outside the building.

Old books as the part of the history - in general. History of printing, if you are in St.Bride Library :)

Street Fonts : Update

Ok, there some more street fonts !

I understood that I like old colored glass, so cozy, reminds winter,snowing outside and hospitable house :)

Old style font on the old building - obvious :D

Have a look closer..

Metal letter with reflections - what can be better ? :P

Emm, grasshopper ?

The letters look so wet and 'tropical' in my opinion. <3

Shadows on the building , you know.. And shiny mettal letters ..

Here you can see letters extruded from the smooth metal

I like that this notice is changing while the rollers is spinning :)

Street Fonts

We were asked to seek out around 20 examples of interesting typography. I started with few photos and will add more information, like description and my opinions.

*♥*

I am actually fan of bright lights, flames and shining letters.Here they making cozy atmosphere and invites you to come inside the hospitality place :D And also I think that warm colours and shine associates with flame and fire on the instinct level.

During this evening and night walk I understood that it's interesting to research about visual changes of logos from day to the night time.

I like the way how letters going zebra style in case of jalousie

Just warm colours which reminds me something Mediterranean

I'm repeating, but I think it's one of the most effective ways to design the restaurant or etc, place where people will eat) Warm colours (orange, red, yellow) in conjunction with dark brown - and it will be cozy

Letters lovely reflects street lights.

Difference between background texture and letters surface works, it looks stylish and expensive.

Look, it's so smooth and plastic of the letters looks imposingly and stylishly !

Oh, yeah! I looked up and saw an example of lighting sing :)

Hello Borough market ! From this angle I founded this type interesting and actually like it!

Piece of handcraft. Be careful, Little Londoners :D

Actually it's boards near the Borough Market where guys selling food at the day time. Their work must be boring , so they started to draw :) This dog reminds me Snoopy

There is nothing unusual in the font, but I found the angle at which light is reflected so cool !)

Ok, here is POD. I like the way how it reflects in the windows of the building on the opposite side of the street.

boq ?

Simple. Clear. In my blog.
Nothing superfluous, everything is accurate. I like the graphic.

Here as well. When you are looking closer - you can see how it's reflects.

Like this, hmm

And here the shadow letters appears on the closed blinds on the back

Piece of street on the windows of the shop. I like also transparent things, like glass, I think it's quite useful.

Like the shadows which appears near the letters >:8)

One of my favorite logo on the streets, I don't know why, I like the plastic of the letters, okey. But maybe it's because 'drug' on Russian means friend and I'm always reading it like Superfriend ? :D
