Familiar Fonts in unfamiliar settings

**iamtheblues** · 07 April 2008, 02:16 PM

The challenge is to use a well-known font, but to change its characteristics - colour, fill, whatever, and place it in a context
not generally associated with its normal use. So the challenge has two parts, work out where you would normally expect to see any posted font in this challenge, and disguise and post a font that will prevent people from working out where they saw it originally.
There are a lot of famous fonts available for free, if you need them just google "famous fonts".
Here's one for you to identify to start things off.
Saludos,
Bob.

Sorry for delayed reaction Bob ... is this the kind of thing? Well, it's disguised in what it says!

Haven't a clue about your yet

My understanding is that Bob has taken a 'Movie Title Font' and used different wording to disguise the origins.
Rather like using the StartTrek font to write 'I'm a little teapot' - you'd recognise the font, but it might not come to you straight away where you actually know it from

That's OK then, that's what I've done

Though, 'movies' might become ... other things

...absolutely.. I was using Bobs OP as an example.
Any famous font would work I assume, provided of course that the font was famous because it is unique only to that original purpose, like the Coke font for example?
