I submitted this one today:

I fontstructed something:

Want this one? Just take it...

But it is a bit calligraphic

I submitted two:

elaborated upon from one I'm working on.

That's beautiful Michael. Email it in!

To whom Craig... I haven't been paying attention lately.

Font Aid IV: A Call to Action
http://typophile.com/node/66544

You'll need to provide the artwork in vector format.

Here’s a little something quite ordinary and mundane from me.

Here is my contribution, a single character.

Loads of different styles here and all very cool!

According to Miss Tiffany; the last Font Aid appeal (Font Aid III) for raising funds to expedite relief efforts in countries affected by the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunamis, gathered more than 220 designers world wide who participated.

It would be great if we could far exceed that on this appeal and hopefully raise even more money. so spread the word!

I just sent in mine. Here it is:

It's based on a doodle I did back in the seventies. Never new what to do with it until now. Let's see lots more.

Here are 2 that I submitted a few days ago:

Also, here is a link to a poster I made from one of then on my Flickr page:

Here's something I'm thinking of submitting after I clean up the curves:

is that ok?

I like it, David!

It's great to see so much excitement around this. We've had close to 50 submissions so far and they have come from all over the world. I can't wait to see the final results. Thanks everyone!

@Jongseong: There's something vaguely Sneetchy about yours!

@Nina:

I'll be submtting this tonight, as seen in it's full form here: http://bit.ly/6saoO1

Aw, this is lovely to see!

I wouldn't have imagined Font Aid would still be around now when I started it over ten years ago (!), but I'm glad it is and that Stuart and others have kept it going after I was in charge. I was thinking about it after the earthquake, and I'm glad to see the ball is already rolling. I'm definitely going to submit a design.

I just submitted this one...

My submission... I liked the irony of ampersand as decorative drop cap.

This is how my contribution looks like.

This is what I did (not colorized)

my last ampersand submission

Here's my submission, sent it in earlier today. :)

Glad I didn't scroll through all of those before making my modest little ampersand; I would've been too intimidated.

Good project, here's my submission.

Here is mine. Submited yesterday (in B&W, of course).

Here we go then:

Great project. Mine is a bit grotesque. :)

&...

Nice work everyone! Over 100 designers from 18 countries have contributed so far. Keep the submissions coming! The deadline is still scheduled for Friday.

Michelle

Another idea I had today:

Jongseong, that's an eagle!

hhp

Ah, damn, I didn't notice this earlier. Perhaps I can still make a nice ampersand before the 29th.

andrijko: Oooooh purdy!

So I have a Sneetch and an eagle. Interesting. :)

I noticed there is a heart theme for some of the relief efforts so this ampersand ties into that. I thought it works better as a linking border than an actual ampersand, so this may or may not be the final version.

Here's mine

I know he would have contributed, so I am also submitting the Ampersand from an unreleased font By Jim Rimmer. The font was going to be called "Dubloon" for an edition of Treasure Island that Jim was planning. The font will eventually be release and titled "Rimmer" with proceeds going to a worthy cause.

Here's mine I just submitted based on a quick sketch tonight:

^^^ so thoughtful. (those ^s refer to two posts up)

Your first one is a beauty, Mr Kegler!

Howdy everyone, here's my shady roman ampersand. I enjoyed designing this for the Font Aid cause!

Some off these script ones are really nice. had ago at one myself but don't think it works as well.

@mightymoss, very royal mint. like it

...

Just a doodle study for a series of ampersand posters
planned for spring.

All proceeds to help Haiti.

That one is truly lovely, Alexander!

My calligraphic submission:

Phew, that's less easy than it looks like, here are some of my medicated curves:

CurveDoctor: very nice.
Maybe make one of the hearts a cross?

hhp

My humble submission:

Thanks hrant, you mean like a plus sign? Sorry I can't handle straight lines very well. Here is a more calligraphic try, indulging in my curve obsession:

hrant, you really give me a headache,

integrating straight lines into luscious curves, it seems impossible

Here’s a little bit of organic, grid based love.

It's my first post on Typophile, so hello everyone :)
