このすしを試してください a.k.a Try this Sushi (Asian Typography)

I went to this sushi bar in Baltimore two weeks ago, the name of the place is called RA Sushi in Baltimore, MD. The sushi is excellent and they have happy hour specials on sushi and drinks.

As I walk to the the sushi bar, I notice the sign for the building which is the logo above. It's very simple, but has a modern Japanese feel to it. The colors are bold and warming. When you actually go into the restaurant, its a dim place with different blends of reds that make you feel at home.

Blackberry

I saw this advertisement for the a new service offered by Blackberry called Blackberry Mobile Voice System. What impress me about the advertisement was the typeface and how they show the importance of this feature through the typeface. I thought the typeface was simple and understandable. I thought it was pretty cool to use just one number for business purposes. I found this advertisement on the back page of a Trade Magazine called 'Government Computer News' 12 October 2009 issue.

Urban Typeface

Urban Typography, I think this picture looks edgy in a sense and a little raw. I like the typeface and the various of earth tones used in the image. It looks like the artist took 5-6 sets of pictures to create the one image. I couldn't find any information on the history of Urban Typography, but looking at a few images before deciding on this image, it looks like a form of hand written letters sometimes, misspelled words, or not grammatically correct writings. If you may know any history on Urban Typography, please send me a comment. Thanks.

Here is Wells Fargo, banking logo. When I see this typeface. I see value, tradition, and wealth. It sticks out because of the blood red and the golden yellow.

Visual Language or Mispelling Typeface?

Phonetic Alphabet

I found this picture again on the flickr site, guess what the picture says "Graphic design is a visual language". I thought that was interesting the way the words are spelled but if you look at it twice and pronounce the words you will get it.

Here is a site for a cheap sheet on Phonetic Alphabet. check here

New Age Digital

Museum of cinema, Torino

I found this picture on a flickr website with other cool typography paintings, drawings, and/or photos. I thought this was cool, I went to the actual site for the Museum of Cinema but the language was in Italian. I was assuming the language was Italian since the museum is located in Italy. I don't know what category this would be place in, but it has a Neon feel to it and looks like symbols or math drawings. I'm not sure, but if you know. Please comment. Thanks!
