Attention design font-heads: The “9/11” brand is in Gotham, not Helvetica.

October 31, 2011 In Blog, Design, New York By Amy Dunayevich

Attention design font-heads: The “9/11” brand is in Gotham, not Helvetica.

Stop the train presses.

The uniform font of the NYC subway system signage is Helvetica. But since the “9/11 memorial” has become its own brand, and is printed in its own font, NY historians and journalists wonder “where will [branding] stop?”

Insert “subway stop” pun here.

But as it stands, MTA officials do not believe they are setting a precedent which other corporations would rely on for requesting trademarks or logos.

 

Thank you to staffer Elizabeth Marren for the link!
