I was at the <a href="http://www.downloadfestival.com/">download festival</a> yesterday and I noticed that the banner used to decorate the small stage was everyone's favorite font: Birth of a Hero.
Nothing like getting paid to design a big multi-city festival and using a free font. But it gets even better...
A emo dude walks up to talk to some friends with a birth of a hero type tee and stands right next to it.

It was a great moment in bad design history.
Also does the security guard look like Mr. Connery to anyone else?

That is what I was wondering! Haha.
You know, it might be me- but I never really see Bleeding Cowboy anywhere. Maybe my eyes just glaze past it when I see it.

I don't hate this font. I don't hate avant garde. It's just every noob uses them so the work is usually shit.

Girl: Hey mitch, here's your invitation to my birthday party
Me: god dammit, why did you use bleeding cowboy?
I actually however don't mind Birth of a Hero. Overused? Yes.
