Have you ever wondered how cool the font for Spider-Man is?

This site has a plethora of entertainment fonts used by Advertising agencies, movies, corporations, etc. Browse the archives and believe me, you’ll recognize these fonts as used in these kinds of campaigns. I even snagged a few of them for future projects and you should too.

Resources like this are wonderful for graphic and ad designers. Not to mention they are free!

  • Notes on the Breakfast Club - The Breakfast Club is a movie that can be taken at face value or you can read into a bit more if you want to.
  • On Life & Memories - Lately I’ve been taking afternoon walks to free my mind of creative restraint or to just breath in the fresh air. It’s a change that I’ve welcomed, even if my legs don’t always thank me for it.
  • The Great Conjunction - Jim Henson’s The Dark Crystal was an epic undertaking for Henson and company in the early 80’s. It also remains one of my favorite movies of all time.
