I teach graphic design and typography. I just showed this to my classes. They loved it and fully appreciated it. We had a great discussion about the fonts and the power of identity with logos and type. Great job! Incredible animation as well!

This video is amazing and don't let anybody tell you otherwise.

This was published when I was in a motion graphics class... How, 4 years later, does this not have millions of
This is epic!! And so much work went into every detail!

[nelliesnose]

it’s amazing how much power a font/typeface can have. they’re such a simple concept, yet they’re so easily recognisable that everyone will know what it’s from within a split-second. even in this video, seeing certain examples made me go “hmm, I wanna rewatch those movies”. and if they’d just used times new roman or something in their posters and title cards, that never would’ve happened.

Liked for the unexpected MBMBaM. As someone who's had a few years of after effects experience, this is top notch.

Someone decided to take my comment VERY seriously two years on and it brought me back to this, which, in case you need to be reminded, is spectacular.

[CarpeCerebrum]

ive wached this occasionally throughout the last four years, this is insane talent, i don't understand how it's not millions of views. The best typography ever created honestly

[Paramortality]

That MBMBaM reference caught me off guard.

[jesuseduardoroldan]

I always type the "best video ever" only one time is mean to be truth.


This is the video get to my deepest geek and designer feelings.

Well done dude! Well done.

[ZombiWorkshop]

Fucking. AMazing. No other way to put it. The "I could be your boy" bit just melted my eyes.

[powertortoise]

That made me cry. Who'd have thought i would cry at fonts? Amazing.

[mourningdewey]

we watched this in my HS graphic arts class. it brought me so much joy. had to rewatch it on my own to privately fangirl over the references i understood

[ParanoidPixel]

The amazing visuals almost make this song bearable... almost.
