Fine Builders of Papyrus-Laden Homes

Regal Crest Homes did the math on this one when deciding on which font to use in their new ad.

I think that conversation probably went something like this:

- Regal Crest Homes: "I guess what we're wanting to say is, 'we build homes for everyone', do you have something that everyone can relate too? Regardless of age/sex/ethnicity/taste?

- Desktop Publisher: "Definitely, I've got just the thing!"

...and boom, how can anyone not want one of the fine quality homes? They've even tried to sneak Papyrus into the tagline of their logo, definitely a sweet addition. Now in the future incase their desktop publisher miraculously can't find his secret weapon – boom, it's already now part of the logo, and here to stay.

Papyrus Breaks Into the Music Industry

Nothing says heavy metal like Papyrus. If I know log (lamb of god), I'm sure they recognized that Blackletter was heavily favoured in their genre, but decided against it because there was another font out there that really encompassed what they were about. They wanted edgy, and edgy is what they got - look at those edges! Blackletter ain't got shit on Papyrus. Thank you lamb of god for setting the heavy metal world free from the Blackletter constraints. In homage to my new favourite band, I've decided on the logo for my new lamb of god cover band:

Wow, Big Daddy Kane what were you thinking?

Just stumbled across this little gem via my iTunes library
screensaver. What is going on here? Not your stock 'it came on my
computer' Papyrus variety, but rooted in disaster nonetheless. For
someone once responsible for bringing us such killer token 80s rap

album covers like 'It's a Big Daddy Thing', this is really sad.

What exactly is Papyrus trying to say here?

Papyrus Angels

Certainly not the first, nor the last time Papyrus has been plastered over an entire menu (in this case, of the sandwich board variety). Asian restaurants seem to have the market cornered in (over)use of Papyrus, but as everybody already knows, Papyrus sees no boundaries and takes no prisoners. It will continue to sweep the world like an unstoppable rebel force, until the entire food services industry surrenders their font creative license.

Couldn't believe Thai Angels had the nerve to do this. What is that? Apple Chancery? C'MON! The answer is sitting right outside on your sandwich board. 

The ultimate raping of Papyrus.

Came across this little gem on Saturday night...but something wasn't right. It was still recognizable from a mile away, but upon closer review it was....different. They'd tampered with Papyrus - taken away her innocence. Taken away the very essence of this culturally diverse, fashion-forward, cuisine related font. The classic ragged irregular edges that practically define Papyrus were completely ignored. I'll have to have a word with the proprietors of 555 Richmond Street West, but in the mean time this will have to do.

And Again!

"I see your steel-cut-rusted-Papyrus sign, but check THIS!" 

  

This Islander has not only given his Papyrus sign some serious depth, he went for the FBP (Full-Bevel Package). Look at those chiselled contours, god DAMN! Though it'd probably be easier to fabricate than steel, this sign wins for overall creativity with the font. He recognized that nobody had really explored the Papyrus' 3-dimensional potential, so he went for it.

And I'm really digging that gradient. Yellow to green....does that say Island? Does say ANYTHING other than puke?? Didn't think so.

Papyrus makes great signage!

Wow, this is particularly disheartening as you KNOW the poor sod spent some serious $$$ to get that motherfucker cut out of steel. And then it goes and rusts and ends up looking like the entrance sign to some scrapyard. But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it looks like Queen West fashion.
