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”.

Found this neat little gallery of surfboard logos via Paul Howalt on Twitter. A huge library of surfboard logos, including multiples of some.
These logos aren’t vector art or anything ready for print (unlike the Brands Of The World vector logo library), just a reference library or perhaps a design inspiration resource.
Seems a high percentage of these are photos of the logos on actual surfboards.

Seems there is. Over at Typography.com, there’s an entry which discusses this unique cartoon curse “word”, claiming it to be called a ‘grawlix‘.

I don’t know how legal all of this is, but since we’re talking cartooning here and we’d only be using these under the fair-use parody provisions in copyright law…
Brands of the World has free vector art downloads of just about every single product, brand or company logo you can think of. I checked out the logo of the Miller High Life Girl in the Moon, and the vector art is pretty good. It looks like there may have been some Illustrator Auto-Trace going on, but the quality is decent.
