Avant Garde- can we say fresh...

Who would wear this on campus? I think I would just to see people's reactions. When they ask me about the necklace, I would then say do you know that this is a typeface?? Then look for the puzzle look, and explain to them what is Avant Garde, something that is innovative and forward in style and design. Here is a little more information on the Avant Garde typeface at URL: http://www.rightreading.com/typehead/avant_garde.htm. Also, note in the link, I didn't know Adidas use Avant Garde typeface for there logo. Pretty cool fact to keep record of. Avant Garde typeface was introduce in the late 60's. This typeface could be considered as an abuse to typography to some artist. This typeface can be seen in alot of contemporary design/fresh-forward companies.
typeset in the typeface "avant garde," this necklace is sure to attract designers, artists, and fashionistas alike. the pendent is cut from 3mm black acrylic and is 2.5" wide and 1.3" tall. it hangs from a silver chain approximately 16" in total length. (chain may differ slightly from the one seen in the photo.) (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vt_related_1&listing_id=29976341)
