Ivan, your Gigante is big! I wonder if EL Gigante would sound like ER Gigante in southern Spain.

I think the registration mark is the baddest hombre in that font, he can make you black and blue as well as red and yellow if you don’t keep him in line :-)

Patty, that’s a neat dingbat font — it even has an extraterrestial or two... ;-)

And I suppose Labios Barbarella could do battle with those evil aliens. :-D

Props to Command Zed for the brief on this one.
I was a little worried at first, but people came on strong.
This was perfectly timed procrastination para mi. Gracias.

russellm — Tue, 6 May 2008 11:39:51 -0700

I confess - 2 things:

1, When I saw this challenge and some to the lucha libre postes, I thought of a font I was already working on. So, I didn’t invent mine from scratch. I just make a bolder, rawer font (Dischuffed Raw Bold) with the uber cool LI ligature that I stole from Randy’s LO lig in his entry above.

2, I don’t know anything about Lucha Libre and plan on taking som classes in...

(oh - I’m not late, am I :¬)

Héctor, it is smashed... I

AGL — Tue, 6 May 2008 10:14:19 -0700

Héctor, it is smashed... I don’t know. The other day I was searching something on the web and I endded up on the page of

EL REAL BETIS BALOMPIE

It is very interesting the way they found a translation to football. It is a crazy thing as putting BALL and FOOT backwards, more and less like this:

BALLFOOT

And also to remember, colega, the few years I spent in Seville back in the early nineties. The Betis stadium, Estadio Manuel Ruiz de Lopera is very small if compared with their huge rival, ER Sevilla. Nonetheless their smallness they are leons. Not to mention that around in the neighborhood, which is residential, there are lots of cafés with good food and all the folks out at night, Y LAS PALMAS. A la sevillana. HUGE.

Cheers
