    It must be so frustrating as a graphic design fan boy to run into successful designers who don't know every font published.

    Knowing every font and never designing is like being a librarian who’s never read a book — technically impressive, functionally useless. Like memorizing every guitar chord and never writing a single song.

    I’ve worked with national brands and global agencies while you’re over here acting like a glorified font sommelier... swirling around typefaces without the design to back it up.

    It's UNREAL.

    I don't care whether I've earned your respect, I've got this list of REAL WORK and REAL BRANDS I've worked with in the REAL WORLD.

    BRANDS YOU KNOW
    American Express
    Camel
    Chrysler
    Dentsply Sirona
    Dodge
    Dodge Racing
    Jeep
    Kimberly-Clark
    Kleenex
    Land Rover
    Mazda
    Mercedes Financial
    Mopar
    Motorstate
    NVIDIA
    Orient-Express Hotels
    SEGA
    Thompson Hotels
    Vail Resorts
    YUASA

    BRANDS YOU MAY KNOW
    Agency 7 (Kickstarter)
    American Academy of Building Arts
    Andersen Material Handling
    Aries (automotive)
    Beachman (electric bike)
    Bilstein (automotive)
    Blackbridge Motors
    Casa Saltshaker
    Cedar Palace
    Charleston Area Rapid Transit Authority
    Coastal Tees
    Collectors Automotive
    Coverland (car covers)
    CURT (automotive)
    Cypress Capital Group
    Detour Auto
    Fiberspoke (racing steering wheels)
    Get’em Garage
    Gourmet Easy
    Hilton Parker (law)
    InMotion (automotive)
    Just Dashes (seen on Jay Leno)
    Kalitta (automotive)
    Luverne (automotive)

    Performance Improvement
    Power Direct (marketing)
    Pro Leasing Services (fleet management)
    Quest Defenders
    RawleMurdy (advertising)
    SHEA Construction
    South Carolina Aquarium
    St Clair Inn
    Teal Autoparts
    Tenurgy (utility & finance)
    The Charleston Place
    USS Yorktown
    Venture Technologies (IT)
    Voltbox (product)
    Whip-It! Inventions (cleaning products)

    This is like the third time you've mentioned the What the Font thing, I hope you get it – your opinion of me and anyone who doesn't know all the fonts in the world is completely irrelevant to being a successful designer.

    I've got new music coming out, can imagine how stupid it would sound if someone dogged me for not knowing how to play the french fucking horn or bassoon. Even if they did, I got music signed, and they don't, so there's really no argument to have anymore.

    So, nice try, and please stop trying.

      ********
    • I do not care about your career man, good for you for boasting LOL

      I just tried to help you find some fonts man...
      ********
    • I feel that facepalm, anyone who judges the worthiness of a designer based on their font identification is not a designer, they're a cynical, jealous, fan boy.canoe
    • But ANOTHER wall of text?

      Bro...

      ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯
      ********
    • Judges is strong word, just pointing out obvious things man

      Do better
      ********
    • Good luck with the music too, maybe that will work out just great for you and keep you focusing on something else than me and this forum
      ********
    • Clearly I hurt your feelings, maybe think about that a bit too, arguing online is pretty useless...
      ********
    • You helped me ID a font that was I used in an old project and then you held it against me and judged me. This is a reminder to you that I'm the real deal.canoe
    • You're a catfishcanoe
    • You can keep posting this crap, I have other stuff to do
      ********
    • "you cringe ass font ignorant dork" feels pretty judgy to me. You'll never take responsibility for the shit you say because you're always in fake mode. Catfish.canoe
    • No, that was actually a pretty accurate IMAGE I have about you.

      Maybe the REAL you outside QBN is beautiful
      ********
    • So maybe STOP projecting and being insecure with the boasting about careers to make a point

      *facepalm* AGAIN
      ********
    • You called me a font-ignorant dork and now you’re pretending you’re the victim of projection? That’s rich.canoe
    • I pointed out that doing actual design for real clients means more than memorizing type catalogs like a trivia night host.canoe
    • You don’t sound like someone defending a point — you sound like someone scrambling to save face after realizing being a font snob doesn’t make you a designer.canoe
    • Don't you understand basic language?
      YES I called you that because thay is MY opinion of you.

      Just like you project a lot of bullshit about me.

      Fair? :)
      ********
    • Being a "font snob" is not a thing. You projected that.

      I consider a designer a person with basic typography skills and I am surprised you don't seem to have
      ********
    • any, not to mention recognising typefaces by their look.

      I consider normal a good designer that recognizes typefaces

      ¯\(°_o)/¯
      ********
    • So when YOU fail to do that, I QUESTION your design abilities.

      Fair? :)
      ********
    • Also after 20 years of design, my clients list is longer than yours :)

      But I will wait for your music to come out. Maybe that is good stuff
