Hi All,

This is Nick from www.identikalshop.com.

As we are the freshest type site on the net, we are looking for the new breed of type designers to add to our library. Are you one of them?

If so, email me samples of your work here: samples@identikal.com. If we like what you do, we will offer you a contract to sell your work on identikalshop.

Good Luck with your entries!

Nick Hayes

stealthcow · 07-07-2004, 19:07

*cough*spam*cough*

stealthcow · 07-07-2004, 19:09

and on a side note, that site is bloody awful!

sleepingfish · 08-07-2004, 04:15

It's a bit of an epileptic's nightmare, but I like the site design. Some nice fonts on there as well.

Not sure I'd agree that it's spam either, but maybe you were just coughing.

Mr Fred · 08-07-2004, 04:19

yes some strange replies to be sure.

right then Nick Hayes, where are my complimentary fonts.

I could do a review for the masses

NICK HAYES · 08-07-2004, 10:44

Oi Skally (Stealthfish),

Lets see some of your work then....

If you can say things like that you have got to have back up.... Lets see how good you are. Email your best work to me and we'll see. I bet you are a graduate with nothing better to do.

Designers these days have no respect!

If you have seen the work I have done in the past 6 years for graphic design and typography you will realise how important my work has been. Identikal has been a massive influence on type design. Our fonts have been used by Nike, Playstation, Universal Music and Film, Orange Mobiles, Dazed and Confused and virtually any name that has respect. We have influenced hundreds of designers around the world. Open up your eyes!

True enough, but your sites bloody awful to look at though.

Stickman · 08-07-2004, 10:55

So humble. There's nothing like a bit of modesty.

Fonts are great, but what's with all the flashing? I feel like the site should have a pause button.

http://www.identikal.com is worth a look too.

We never used an identical font.

Oh I see what your saying.

Anyway I assume my fonts are emailing there way to me as I speak.

Good Show, and tally ho.

i didnt mention the quality of the fonts, i said the design was awful!

and if you want to look at some of my most recent work, go to http://www.thomasbowler.com/misc/tb.html

note: its a work in progress of my portfolio site redesign, so very few of the sections are up and running, but it should give you a quick feel of things

stealthcow · 08-07-2004, 11:53

oh, and if you want an example of an excellent design for a font site, go to http://www.dafont.com

EDIT: well, not excellent design, but the usability/navigation is excellent

to each his own

Identikal Brothers are HUGE! Maybe we're a bit too boneheaded for their design approach...

NICK HAYES · 09-07-2004, 12:36

Ok Chaps,

Like the idea of the pause button ; )

We will take this into account when we launch the new collection in September. A shame that none of you are interested in posting your stuff on the site.

Messages to you all:

Stealthcow:
As with the dafont.com site I totally disagree that this is a well designed website especially for navigation, firstly you don't know where to start... And I think you need a few more years at college, your work could be a lot better.

Sleepingfish,
Sorry if you think I was including you in this, thanks for the comments though.

JapanMik.
We cannot give away fonts without a credit purchase, our system doesn't allow this. Sorry!

I would post something but I dont design fonts - bit like asking a (uphill) gardener to make a cumberland sausage.

Only kidding about the fonts anyways but you do seem to have got your knickers in a twist over the site.

Good luck.
