Dave Grundy of Shirley's Vinyl Signs in Granton, Ontario won the Atkinson Fonts. Today was also Dave's birthday!
Alphabets of Atkinson Volume #1 by The Fontry.
One dozen of the finest examples of Art Nouveau lettering anywhere! The Alphabets of Atkinson, Volume One, represents the best-of-the-best by sign-industry legend Frank H. Atkinson. His book, Sign Painting was published almost 100 years ago and has become the artistic standard for generations of signpainters and computer-aided signmakers. The dozen Alphabets of Atkinson cover the gamut of historical styles, from ornate tuscans to flowing scripts, all of which expertly complement a secondary range of Atkinson's less-elaborate workhorse styles that are still classics in their own right. There's something here for every signmaker, from the ordinary to the extraordinary. All 12 alphabets have complete character ranges and are published on CD.
Thanks to Mike Atkins at The Fontry for supplying this prize. Check out this font collection at http://www.signweb.com/fontry/

Kurt Gaber of Gaber Signs, Chippewa Falls, WI won the Jack Wills CD. We'll take it along with us to Milwaukee and hope Kurt is there.
Our old pal Jack Wills has teamed up with Victor Georgiou in a new venture known as Anchor Blanks. They offer made-to-order sign blanks based on the designs of Jack Wills. Now even the smallest shop can get away from simple squares and rectangles, and upsell to beautiful shapes that command higher profit margins.
This Monday, we will be drawing for a copy of Jack's Designer's Cafe CD. You'll find over 1600 examples of handcrafted sign art on this CD! Thanks Jack!
Drop by www.anchorblanks.com and see all the great stuff Jack and Victor have to offer.
These monthly draws are just one more benefit Letterville Residents receive for their annual tax of $50 US. Residents qualify for 12 monthly draws, gain access to the fonts, clipart and pinstripe design downloads in the Town Vault and your photo is added to all past and future posts. If you have been sitting on the fence for sometime, now would be a great time to move to Letterville. We'll be drawing again the first of September.
