			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why do I hate lazy graphic/type designers?  Because I&#8217;ve been seeing shit tons of ads on USA for <a title="Royal Pains" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1319735/" target="_blank">Royal Pains</a> while I&#8217;m watching <a title="Burn Notice" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0810788/" target="_blank">Burn Notice</a>, and they always show this shitty Futura-looking logotype:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a style="text-decoration: none;" href="http://drunkentech.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/royalpains.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-206" title="royalpains" src="http://drunkentech.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/royalpains.jpg" alt="royalpains" width="287" height="77" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">And I can&#8217;t get it out of my head that some designer at the <a title="USA Network" href="http://www.usanetwork.com/" target="_blank">USA Network</a> is cheating on his wife with an <a title="ExxonMobil" href="http://www.exxonmobil.com" target="_blank">ExxonMobil</a> branding specialist.  There&#8217;s no fucking way it&#8217;s a coincidence that there&#8217;s modified &#8220;X&#8221; form in the same font of each logotype:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://drunkentech.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/exxonmobil.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-207" title="exxonmobil" src="http://drunkentech.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/exxonmobil.jpg" alt="exxonmobil" width="300" height="56" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">FUCK ME. The more I look at these two logos the more I want to murder people. I know I&#8217;m not a trained, certified, hipster graphic artist, but for the love of Christ, do some research before submitting your work!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">UPDATE: A friend informed me that the typeface to be angry about is Avant Garde, not Futura.  He also looks like he should be featured on &#8220;<a title="Look at This Fucking Hipster" href="http://latfh.com" target="_blank">Look At This Fucking Hipster</a>.&#8221;</p>
