Old/Fresh titles by Pacific Title and Art Studio

Need further proof that great design never goes out of style? Take a look at the title design for this 1961 film "Lover Come Back", starring Doris Day, Tony Randall and Rock Hudson. We watched it recently and were amazed at the opening sequence- it could have been designed last year.

The film left much to be desired, but the titles by Pacific Title are an Oscar worthy encore for re-cycled style!

Love type? You've met your match. Try this super fun website created by Aura Seltzer for her Masters degree thesis project. Here's what it's "about"...

"Type Connection is a game that helps you learn how to pair typefaces. Start by choosing a typeface to pair. Like a conventional dating website, Type Connection presents you with potential “dates” for each main character—without the misleading profile photos and commitment-phobes. The game features well-known, workhorse typefaces and portrays each as a character searching for love. You are the matchmaker. You decide what kind of match to look for by choosing among several strategies for combining typefaces. Along the way, you explore typographic terminology, type history, and more."
