Naked is still working with his designer to tweak the T’s but would like to know what you think of this font. Too much? Just enough? Let’s get into this. Also, it goes without saying but we’ll do so anyway that after the shirts we’ll be doing mugs, mousepads and, if you play your cards right, fleeces.

If you do sweatpants- its on!
“fleeces”
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

The people demand hats too. Something for casual BBQs on Nantucket.
A little bit too “Santa’s workshop”, for me.
I’ll take mine sleeveless, please.
Thanks,
Charles Gasparini
@merkin- that’s semen, not snow. what kind of sick santa’s workshop do you work at?
make it look more abstract – like the Citigroup Arc! That way we can wear the golf shirts into the office.
@4 thats what I was worried about. Unfortunately Zazzle doesnt offer a font that looks like cum spatter; you are seeing the best avalible option if thats the look we want to go after.
Guinea T’s please.
Garamond, or nothing. Keep it simple! Make it look potentially serious!
I’ll take six pairs of Handbridge Zubaz.

Comic Sans MS + windings
I’m with 4. the original font felt like it might actually be used in the logo of a firm; this is trying to hard to play up a joke that the illustration has already done perfectly well.
Also Bess, can we please please send one complimentary shirt to:

(judging from the descriptions, it sounds like Bernie needed a HB even when TFing DDs to get sufficient friction on his pencil-size wiener, so this should really resonate with him)
…anything but Times New Roman. Dat font have bad juju, mon.
12,
Are you a 14 y/o female? Surely you’re kidding.
Font is silly. It should look real. Also, can Hand and Bridge be different colors?
Times New Roman or Arial def
@16 No. Its one font/one color for each line of text.
I totally agree with @10. I want to potentially completely fool some people. This font is too much.
Bess, you see so many “here is our performance” letters/mea culpas from hedge fund. How about choosing 4 or 5 and making it a poll?
Maybe, make it between Tudor’s font, SAC’s, AQR’s, Einhorn’s, and whatever font Sam Israel was using on his business card?
first one better; this lettering looks like it has frozen cum on it
original font was much better- much more subtle….
suck my crank
I think the T’s are still a bit large. Think skeeters for the use of the handbridge.
I think the hands should look less red-lacquered, more stylized, so it looks like it could be real: more along the lines of:

I agree – original font.
I am just going to whack off on it anyway, so keep the font simple.
Dennis Kneale
10 / 19. I agree. Did you see this:
http://www.ottawacitizen.com/news/Saucy+illicit+sign+points+Constance+charms/1776726/story.html
I think this is the touchstone.
Need the original font Bess.
This version looks like something a hillbilly teenager buys at a truck stop.
“this lettering looks like it has frozen cum on it”
nothing gets by you.
I am dreaming of climbing mountains of frozen semen. Who am I?
1. Anything but sans serif.
2. Has anyone approached the Greenlight baby-making unit about a co-branding/marketing agreement?
3. If it comes in a hoodie, I’ll take two, XL.

I think you should go with a font that a legitimate company would use. (Otherwise, the “capital partners” bit serves no purpose.) The font above makes it look like a shirt you’d buy at Spencer Gifts.
Also, single color font. Subtle yellow/gold would be perfect.

Talvez assim may be a good fit…
Is this product available for canines as well?
Dennis Kneale
Something in bone, with Silian Rail lettering. Or eggshell with Romalian type. Raised lettering, pale nimbus…with subtle off-white coloring and a watermark. Tasteful thickness.
MASSIVE CLEAVE ON CNBC PLEASE REPORT BL
sexist much?
Forget Fleeces, mousepads and coffee mugs. This needs to be on a Snuggie.
@23 do you not listen to me when I speak? I said the T’s are being tweaked (they’ll be smaller).
@20 That’s not a bad idea, perhaps something like this?
http://dealbreaker.com/2008/11/post-113.php
@all we’re in agreement that a subtle, professional look is best. we want you sporting this shit in public.
In these truly shitty times in which we now live, that tee shirt is the best thing I’ve seen in quite a while. Thanks for making me smile again Bess.
Can we get this in Bone, with a font called Silian Rail?
10 & 19
Nuff said.
@37 it’s coming. I only have 2 hands.
Bess, marry me and I will make an honest woman out of you.

Let’s see Paul Allen’s t shirt. Look at that subtle off white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh, my God. It even has a watermark.
@44
Tell us more…

10 and 19., possibly Book Antiqua.

You guys think all uppercase? All lowercase? Upper to start then lower?
Please change the font, it looks like a bunch of Sunday Schoolers designed this.
here it is:

done.
Some genius comments here today…
That font reminds me of weekends with my grandpappy when I was a lad.

Apparently Project Runway moved to DB instead of the Lifetime Network.
52,
Upper to start, then lower. Again, subtle.
-Nemesis of Wharton ALLCAPS!
@35 FTW! I literally spit my Orange Juice up.
@44 I can lend you mine… and I know how to use it.
Helvetica. It’s good enough for apple, et al.

OK here are some fonts:
AQR’s: looks like Century Schoolbook

Tudor’s: standard CG Times

Greenlight: Arial

SAC: looks like Cambria, italicized

Calibri or Constantina
Kneale began his career in journalism at the News/Sun-Sentinel in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Kneale holds a degree in journalism from the University of Florida, where he was honored as a distinguished alumni that looks like a bird and a member of the Hall of Fame of the student newspaper, The Independent Florida Alligator.
Can I have mine in braille so I gets felt up when I wear it?

@62: some awful typographic design at these firms. For god sakes’ stay away from Arial. SAC Capital’s is the best, plus Bess has a crush on Stevie so I’m sure she’d like this. That’s my vote.
I wish Kneale had tits like those.

@44 Why exactly do you keep Greg around then? A couple of screengrabs and done.
Instead he goes and does this:
http://dealbreaker.com/2009/08/fasbs-new-bank-valuation-chall.php
Use AQR’s font.
Changed my mind on what SAC’s font is once I capitalized the S and C. It’s Bookman, not Cambria.
- #62
@42 FTW!
@69… agreed.
why does the font have snow on it?
That was just special.
you should make some with text only, without the NSFW logo. that way it will be like the secret DB handshake, only DB readers will know what it is.
Can we get a slogan maybe?
Handbridge Capital: Helping Little Guys Do Big Things
This is from the D. Kneale line

I agree that the logo should be a bit more stylized. Perhaps looking at the designs of Santiago Calatrava will inspire a more abstract version of the design.
This is an inside joke for christ’s sake…
@76 – did you really miss ALL of yesterday’s post?
http://dealbreaker.com/2009/08/handbridge-capital-swag-coming.php
I think the perspective is wrong on the logo, maybe it needs to be more stylized and subtle. That thing is like hitting the viewer over the head with a hammer.
Sorry. I do think it’s hilarious and I like version 1.2 best so far, but that logo needs to be completely reworked.
-Totally incompetent artist

@78
Calatrava? Seriously? Why not just take the design from the Flinstones?
83rd
Bess, beautiful concept. but those melons need to shrink a bit — no HB needed!
@79 yep
haha…that’s bess in the t-shirt
wow – I take a coupla weeks off, and suddenly the collective wisdom here are debating a TF Tee shirt logo?? WTF??
I would lose the “frosted” typeface – I mean, SOME subtlety is called for… LOL
not a fan of the font. looks like christmas.
@88 try and keep up. that font was ruled out.
lose the snow.
and i agree, the hands need tobe pushing.
@90 it’s not snow, it’s jizz, and welcome to several hours ago, when it was nixed.
