    My god, that stunt driver is amazing! He's memorizing each move! Fonts are cool and all, but I just want to watch more of Campenhoudt drive around. Talk about precision!

    That looks pretty cool. I made a font once with that site that I believe was featured at Lifehacker, but it was very, very lame. And not drawn with a car.

    While Helvetica/Arial did a perfectly solid job, I'm not sure this was the high point in College Humor Font Skit History.

    @92BuickLeSabre: I've been tracking College Humor's family of font vids, and this marginal effort just can't be justified. It's ragged character underlines how far below their usual baseline they've descended, in this case creating a grotesque orphan barely worthy of display. They must face facts and, I stress, take bold measures if they wish to ascend to their former leader position.

    As interesting as this project is, I'd be more interested in seeing an extensive documentation of the Pacman Fields of the American Southwest. Case in point:


    [maps.google.com]


    There are others that look even better, with a proper orientation, and a more yellowish color, but I don't really feel like spending months tracking down the perfect Pacman Field just to make this post.

    Kinda confused... They included 2 logos for The Original Series, but completely left out The Animated Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space 9, Voyager, and Enterprise?


    But yeah, I'm quite excited for the new movie.
