Have you ever been out and about and saw something that you recognized the font used? Perhaps even knew the name of the font?
I find myself doing that sometimes. I can't always think of the name though. This past weekend I was at Wal Mart and saw a movie that, I believed, used the Bleeding Cowboys font and I just had to laugh because most other people wouldn't give a thought about what font was used.

You have no idea how happy that makes me that someone else thinks that way too. I've always thought it meant I was spending wayyy too much time in Photoshop. I'll be in the car and see a poster/bilboard and I'll start to say something, then realize my mom has NO IDEA what I'm talking about. So I just shut up >.< The most common ones I recognize are stuff like Impact, and that Abaddon font.

LOL I think the first time I even mentioned to someone else about recognizing a font was when my sister (Broken Angel) and I were going somewhere and I said something about the text on the back of a car that was in front of us. I can't remember what the font was anymore though. That happened quite awhile ago.
I admit that it kind of annoys me when I see people making graphics and they use the same font for everything. There are so many great fonts available.

I swear in the Land of Dragons on Kingdom Hearts they use the Evanescent font. And on the Sweeney Todd DVD, they use a font called Beyond Wonderland for the title card that reads Burton+Depp+Carter=Todd. I'm a dork. Do I annoy you VO? Since I always use Evanescent? ((I have other fonts, but none of them ever look good.))

Well I sometimes do this but I notice my self really naming out the colors they used in hex code. And also when I see a image the has been made on photoshop I start think of the stuff they did to make it that way. Like how many layers was on the image and layer styles and stuff. Ha Ha Kinda Dumb!

I probably haven't really paid that close of attention to the font you use Sweet Nightmare but if I did then yeah, I have to admit, it would annoy me. If none of your other fonts ever look good ... might be a good time to look for new fonts. LOL
Oh my gosh .:SquEWHeeT:., I could never think of the hex codes for colors ... except black and white. LOL But I do also look at stuff and say to myself "that was Photoshopped" and then possibly think how it was done.

All the time. xD
I was watching a commercial for honda, and thought to myself, Hey, that font right there is "technical"! Or driving by a billboard and saying, "hmm, that looks a lot like exocet!"
And I feel retarded sometimes, because I found myself looking at two red shirts trying to determine which was the "true" red (FF0000).

I do that with the shirt thing except I'm always trying to figure out which color would look better on my website =(
