Congratulations to Cindy – our contest winner of week 6 (see all entries of contest week 5 here). She has won a TYPO London ticket, her photo was drawn by our random generator from 63 entries. It shows beautifully, how to queue for a taxi in Madrid.
The only time a TYPO speech began with “Hello you motherfuckers! You bunch of wankers! You ‘ve got small penises and fat arses!” was at TYPO 2008, “Image”
Thus having tested how polite the translaters were, Barnbrook guided us through the pulsating universe of his type designs, his faces ranging from Apocalypso to Tourette, altogether 109 specimen. He stressed that although his fonts tend to display abstract letter shapes, they are highly representational of our social and political surroundings. We learned that calling a font after a serial killer can be bad for one’s image and why it is that drawing typefaces is crucial to characterize the epoch in which one lives.
Do we need agitated fonts in unstable times? Attend TYPO London 2011 and find out!

Eva-Lotta Lamm’s “TYPO Sketchnotes” from this year’s Berlin conference, turned out to be the most engaging documentation of a TYPO conference yet, as born out by the frequency of tweets and blogs referring to her work.
TYPO London is a broad inter-disciplinary design conference for professionals and students, based on the hugely influential TYPO Berlin Conferences, which have become Europe’s largest annual design conference, since their foundation in 1996. There are many reasons to explain why a ticket to TYPO London is a good idea, but if you need a compelling case, we put the top 20 together to help the decision making process.
Congratulations to Ollie Winser our contest winner of week 4 (see all entries of contest week 4 here).

Following a longstanding request by TYPO regulars to see a client and their designer on stage together talking about a joint project, German student Julian Zimmermann and African King Cephas Bansah were invited to TYPO Berlin in 2010 to present their cooperation. And what a memorable session it turned out to be! The extremely professional keynote, combined with the natural charm of the two speakers, literally brought many delegates to tears and garnered spontaneous standing ovations.
Congratulations to Mazdak Ashkan our contest winner of week 3 (see all entries of contest week 3 here). He has won one TYPO London ticket, as his photo was drawn by our random generator from 45 entries. Reconnect with your inner child – produce and spot more funny signs!
Chip Kidd presents his very special view on superheroes, why giving a title to a lecture is as superfluous as naming one’s toes and why one should live every day of our life as if one was infected with a contagious disease “that turns everyone one bites, into a zombie”. Will the title of Chip’s speech at TYPO London 2011 be another closely guarded secret? We are not in the know …
Just two months to go until TYPO London kicks off! We would like to use the remaining time to introduce the speakers and their work. We sent all TYPO London 2011 speakers a questionnaire and got a whole bunch of interesting and charming feedback. Let’s start with… Joachim Sauter.
Congratulations to Kate McDonnell our contest winner of week 2 (see all entries of contest week 2 here). She can get excited over her one prize TYPO London ticket, as her picture was drawn by our random generator out of 82 entries. It seems that you need a good compass in Montreal, but what does this other sign indicate? No umbrellas?
