New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
For those who have contributed to the Font Aid IV Project, I thought it would be cool to get a cheeky preview of what you lovely people submitted.
Its not necessarily a crit, just a place to see what different styles and variations you come up with. Feel free to comment how you wish tho.
I went for a simple, circley, wiggly, snowman style :)
And off course what a great thing the Font Aid team are doing to raise money for this tragedy. Good to know there's so many caring people out there.

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

Here’s a little something quite ordinary and mundane from me.
25 Jan 2010 — 7:18am
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.
25 Jan 2010 — 12:26pm
I just submitted this – based on a doodle I did this morning.
25 Jan 2010 — 12:59pm
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:
25 Jan 2010 — 1:20pm
is that ok?
25 Jan 2010 — 1:28pm
I like it, David!
25 Jan 2010 — 2:19pm
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!
25 Jan 2010 — 2:24pm
@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
25 Jan 2010 — 3:07pm
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.
25 Jan 2010 — 3:32pm
I just submitted this one...
25 Jan 2010 — 4:18pm
25 Jan 2010 — 6:22pm
My submission... I liked the irony of ampersand as decorative drop cap.
26 Jan 2010 — 1:31am
This is how my contribution looks like.

my last ampersand submission

26 Jan 2010 — 9:25am
Here's my submission, sent it in earlier today. :)
26 Jan 2010 — 9:26am
Glad I didn't scroll through all of those before making my modest little ampersand; I would've been too intimidated.
26 Jan 2010 — 9:30am
Good project, here's my submission.
26 Jan 2010 — 11:31am
Here is mine. Submited yesterday (in B&W, of course).
26 Jan 2010 — 12:02pm
Here we go then:
26 Jan 2010 — 1:06pm
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.

Another idea I had today:
26 Jan 2010 — 2:51pm
26 Jan 2010 — 3:16pm
Jongseong, that's an eagle!
hhp
26 Jan 2010 — 3:28pm
Ah, damn, I didn't notice this earlier. Perhaps I can still make a nice ampersand before the 29th.
26 Jan 2010 — 3:51pm
26 Jan 2010 — 4:01pm
andrijko: Oooooh purdy!
26 Jan 2010 — 4:02pm
So I have a Sneetch and an eagle. Interesting. :)
