Font Bureau sues NBC

Font Bureau's Antenna used for SNL

Melborne Metro Re-brand

Metro Trains Melborne (formerly Connex) has launched a new identity. I quite like it, feels like a blend of the Yokohama and Brussels marks. New signage and livery graphics to follow soon. Time for Metro Bits to add it to their excellent collection of transit logos.
