gettin’ jiggy with ligatures
add this to the list of things that i never noticed about logos before: the sports illustrated logotype has a super-bitching ra ligature. is this a subtle nod to ra, the egyptian god of linebackers and the stanley cup? perhaps. but one thing is for certain, r & a are the initial letters of both m’name and m’blog and so, making this parallel dimension logo was more or less a requisite.
and guess who now has five posts using his sports tag?
incidentally, the sports illustrated font seems to be a modified version of impact. go figure.
