Also with TGC and NBC now joined in Comcast, NBC's golf starting Saturday will be rebranded “Golf Channel on NBC” and will incorporate Golf Channel's on-air look, including its graphics. … ESPN last week tried new wrinkles on college hoops, ...

Perhaps. But I think we can agree that it's one that's not very inspiring.

Only their board knows why the change, my guess would be that they're trying to distance themselves from their terrible customer service reputation and some how appear as a fresh face to new customers. Digging through their site, it looks like they had a service called Fancast Xfinity TV (http://j.mp/bM92JD) and their focus might be there moving forward.

I'd argue that it is much weaker. It basically looks like red sans serif type, with nothing to distinguish it from any random red letters on a sign somewhere. The attempt at symmetry with the X and Y just seems weird, calling attention to some really odd negative space between the x and f, as well as the t and the y.

The comcast logo at least had the round o and c, and the red circle to match up to that. The Is look weird

my only question is why? why the change? why the logo treatment? why the x like that? sure it's balanced and the color is attractive, but is there reasoning behind those decisions?

Thanks. It's a great book. Inspiring in many ways. (If I could only understand Olde English...)

I think this is a film for anyone who wants to know what design is all about. Never mind that it's based on the font it is a statement on design in general too.

The interviewed people are all extremely interesting and succeed in conveying their passions and convictions. The video work is convincing too and shows very well how common and you might say oversaturated the world is with Helvetica.

Thanks for your interest. We’ve been talking with several folks in NYC about setting up the NY premiere for sometime next year. The best way you can help is to encourage groups you’re involved with (AIGA, etc) to help support a screening like they did at the Walke

I've talked my kids into doing it too. Sounds like fun, but I'm afraid that we won't have much free time during the month of November as a result!

You mean FLV won't do it? ;) Durned DRM. Thanks for the heads up as to why there's the delay.

Yep, all of us want it on the Mac. Its a DRM issue. We have to have a reliable solution available to us that solves it for PC & Mac and is good for the studios as well.

I saw that you are trying out our application. WeBot's roots are in the online music community (Winamp) and we have been building feature sets with strong user input.

Our vision is to bring a cross platform anywhere, anytime media solution to market that integrates easily into the social fabric of the Internet. We only have a subset of that functionality in the market today. This week we announced that have achieved our cross platform goals by fully supporting Mac, PC and Linux. I am looking forward to hearing what you think of the product and would be happy to talk with you more about where we are taking the product in the near future.

Thanks again for taking the time to try out our beta.
