Cheezburger Company Blog
Fail blog is dead.
*DING DING DING*
What does he WIN, Johnny !
Agreed. LAME post to have on failblog.
Failblog do your damn job and filter this crap out.
It’s not called WINblog.
Furthermore, is this so WIN-worthy to justify posting on the internet?… Really?…
At least it’s not another predictable nostalgic/ironic Mario or TMNT “win”.
I consider this an improvement and I enjoy art, but these signs are pretty commonplace. I don’t come on here to look at wins, though.
agreed.
How is this a win?
Anything gets tagged as a “win” here.
I don’t come on FAILBLOG to see wins. I come to laugh at people doing dumb stuff, and it backfiring on them.
Then go to FAIL Nation.
Here’s an alien concept: Leave all the cross-posts on their respective pages and start posting fails on failblog again. Completely outrageous, I know, to log into FAILBLOG expecting to see fails.
Here’s an idea: go to win.failblog.org if you want to see wins.
You try making your own type some time. Comic Sans is horrendous because it’s misused and that’s the most that some people get into typography, but you haven’t noticed how universally loved Helvetica is? Or how beautifully complex Times New Roman can be? Try mimicking it on a vector. It’s friggen hard.
This is mostly a win for artists or graphic designers.
Or anyone with eyes, taste, or doesn’t live in a cave.
+++++
That is an awesome win! I’m sure the artist who created this is mighty proud. However, it does seem out of place on a website called FAILblog.
I was doing stuff like that for fun and for free back when I was 16 and had loads of time on my head. Still have a notebook half-filled with such stuff.
From the picture, the only word worth talking about and looking at is “Lost” – everything else can be done by anyone with 2 hours of free time available and without any previous experience.
oh how cute, some guy who spent hours and hours and hours training himself to hand letter things is trying to pretend there is still a market for his craft. It’s called a printer, FedEx Kinko’s anyone? Yeah, go back to occupy wall street and juggle hacky sacks in the park genius
Much the same as making actual music is a dead art, based on what is played on the radio.
On the other hand, writing dipsh*t comments on failblog is apparently much more productive and very much in its prime. More entertaining than the posts.
Actually, many store sale signs and menus are written by hand these days. I hate looking at an illegible sign, or a poorly penned sign. It takes skill and talent to pen a sign by hand. Have you tried it? Perhaps Big Earl is simply jealous? Need to cut someone down to make yourself feel better? Get some talent, tact, brains and appreciate someone’s skills.
I have tried it and the work in the picture is pretty simplistic, except for one word (which actually looks nice, albeit a bit uneven).
Judging by Big Earl’s other posts, he’s a chest-thumping, insecure bro who is so desperate to fit in with his universally mocked subculture that he only likes what is considered acceptable by the perameters of his “bro-group”.
This comment is so stupid on so many different levels.
I wasn’t aware that not lazily relying on technology for everything and applying creativity to things made you a hippie.
Yes BigEarl, there is a market for talent like this. Do you think the logos of major corporations are spit out by clip art from MS Word? Just because this was done by hand doesn’t mean the artist couldn’t use a graphics program of some sort to produce the same quality.
fok amerika
The lost art of using five different typefaces for five different words.
Counting Fail.
You sure about that, Ernie?
This is fairly common in pubs here in England not much of a win tbh.
The fail here is the idea that it is a lost art. Almost every business in my neighborhood does the same thing. EVERY tavern I have been to in the last 10 years does this. It is analogous to show a picture of a guy in a Volkswagon and caption it: The lost art of driving…
chalk is a lost medium
Don’t tell that to the Department of Education or that insanely talented sidewalk artist: Julian Beever.
Thank-you for mentioning Julian Beever.
Is he not ridiculously talented?!
If you don’t know of his work, Google him and go to “images”- now THAT’S a win.
Not to mention the lost art of choosing an appropriate, readable font, and editing one’s choices to a few fonts per artwork.
“Just because you can” is the same argument used for photoshopping.
It doesn’t mean you should.
This is beautiful…
