   Are you in the contest too, David? Do I get to see your poster? :)
   But what’s with the love of Helvetica anyway? I don’t even use it. I am an Arial type. LOL! (It needs too much scrolling down to get Helvetica ;) )

   Imagine on BBC1 was very interesting last night - I never really thought about Helvetica before then!

   Hi Mig,

   I’d thought about entering, when I first found out about the contest, although unfortunately other things have taken priority.

   I don’t use Helvetica too often, although it is very well crafted. Too well, perhaps, as it can be seen absolutely everywhere. I like your reason for choosing Arial instead! ;)

   Brian,

   That’s very kind of you mate, although as mentioned, I’ve been too busy to enter. I actually started editing one of my longer blog posts, that are currently in draft format, and I was going to publish it instead of this short one. Then I found it was taking too long!

   There are some very nice ideas on the site though.

   Hi Pinksy,

   Been a while. I hope you’re keeping well.

   I was out playing football last night, so only caught a little of the programme. Hopefully there’ll be a streaming version online before too long, as what I saw was very interesting.

   Great designs . . . and they instantly remind me of why I am NOT a graphic designer. I may dabble, but I don’t have those kind of chops!

   Helvitica eh? Well I personally love me some Times!! And winddang is pretty unusual too!! But I guess Helvitica is and will always remain the best in the biz you might say!!

   Indeed good for Design Inspiration.
   Thanks.

   This may be a bit off-topic, but I think your logo (top-left) in this site is suffering form some jpeg artifacts. May be I can see it more because of my monitor settings.

    Hi Deb,

    You don’t have those kind of chops? Haha. I enjoyed that comment.

    Arizona,

    Winddang eh? Nice choice. ;)

    Oliver,

    Best of luck in the competition!

    Niyaz,

    Thanks for the feedback on my logo clarity. I’ll have to look into that and see if I can improve the image quality.

    eshark,

    I’m pretty sure entry was open to all, as I thought about entering myself. Some tough competition, but I’d have given it a shot if I had more time on my hands.
