Conglomerfont

Bittbox is working on a cool new project — Conglomerfont. The idea is that creatives send in hand-created letters, and the final result will be collated into one schizophrenic, ransom-note looking über-font from everyone’s submissions. The final font will be freely available and evry paerticipating artist will get credit for their contribution.

There’s still a handful of letters — uppercase & lowercase — as well as numbers left. Head over and drop Bittbox a line about the letter you’d like to create and join the community typeface project.

I created the uppercase “G”.

Free Pop-Culture Typefaces/Fonts For Famous Companies, Logos, Movies, Bands, Brands & More

FamousFonts.com screenshot(via Gilbert Consulting Design Tips): Ever need to find a font that looks just like some famous brand, company or product?

Here are some resources for finding typefaces/fonts for all sorts of brands, famous foods, drinks, candy, restaurants, businesses/companies, bands/musicians, TV shows, sports teams, cars/automobiles, games & video games, publications, sports teams and more:

FamousFonts

Sharkshock Fonts

TypoWiki

Some fonts on FamousFonts are only for ID, but they do tell you the name of the typeface and the foundry (with links where available). Sharkshock seems to offer downloads of everything they show on the site. TypoWiki is more corporate-oriented, the other two more pop-culture related. Also, TypoWiki is (as the name implies) more of a Wikipedia-based reference guide than a download site.

Good stuff, and these things come in handy, usually for some sort of gag or parody - but worth it!
