still, too damn slow!

what could be the point of changing their domain name at this point? maybe they sold the old one? I'll have to check the old address and see what happens there in the next few months.

Plaincloth,

www.fontfont.de still offers smooth-loading,
unobstructed views of at least the FontFont-
branded library.

It's nice to see FSI get the massive FontShop
collection online, but the execution needs an
overhaul. Simplicity, please!

Or Cliff's notes.

Or Caterpillar earth moving equipment :D

yellowblack.com for a bloody great big bee, surely?

Stryper, Ooohhh YEAH!

i never EVER imagined a stryper reference on typophile ... you people surprise me daily!

The yellowblack.com domain has been advertised in the design media for the last couple of months. I think the idea is that it's "more than" fonts - I thought I'd seen an ad that mentioned stock photography, but there's no mention on the site(s).

Many of the stock libraries are also now selling fonts, and some former type resellers have branched out into other areas (FontHaus).

Yes, it was quick, but those animated gifs at the side are an instant annoying turnoff.

Just my 2 pence

You want distracting animated GIFs?
Check out FontBureau's new site.

It's common for companies to double up on URLs.
I'm sure they didn't sell their original domain.
(Same reason we have Typofile.com.)

For yellowblack.com it was either FontShop, the
"Dummy" book series or Yellow Cab. :-)

Or those Christian hair-metalists from the '80s, Stryper!

Add to that first list Target (red).

Yellowblack.com is the FontShop site for the UK
only... this may explain the slowness you
experience. Also why many of us haven't seen
the yellowblack ads.
