Hello everybody!
I could use some font inspiration, and since I've been a ghost reader for some while I thought I'd come out of the closet. I really admire how such a great number of users in here can give great advice, so I would be very grateful to get the same.
In short: I need an awfully sleezy, kitch, ironic corporate font. I'm looking for the kind of commercial aesthetic, that just yells: "Save big, buy now, get 2 for the price of one, 100% satisfaction or your money back" etc.
I doesn't matter if it's a really low quality free ware font. In fact, it might help.
Think about your worst branding nightmare basically...
And then why do I why want to do this? I'm working on a graphic project in collaboration with a researcher in critical sociological theory, so the theoretical background of the project may be a bit to long haired just for now (I'd be happy to talk about it though). But in short: the project is about the possibility of critique, or lack thereof, in contemporary society.
So far, our concept is a fictional corporation (no name), that sells "critique" in various forms, for example: (1) critical coaches or corporate critics, (2) critical cleaning-cans that make all "bad employee critique" vanish etc.
My specific contribution this time will be a number of posters over this theme, that should work as our corporation's commercial ads.
I'm not sure if this is good enough information, so please ask me what I mean if it's not concrete enough.
Cheers,
Malte
