I love the way the word "QUEEN" is written on Queen II and The Miracle and I hate the AKOM typo and the MIH typo
GonnaUseMyPrisoners
10.07.2004 12:09		 My favorite TYPO is: "BAD SPELLERS OF THE WORLD, UNTIE!!!"
My favorite Typeface? oh, that's entirely another question.

10.07.2004 12:34		 yeah, i always liked the Miracle.

10.07.2004 12:38		 Strange how people can get feelings of hate about something so trivial.
GonnaUseMyPrisoners
10.07.2004 12:42		 Whooooaaaah! Teasing does not equal hate, Rien. Only injecting some humor to show how it made me giggle as I read it.
Funny how some people are humorless illiterates, though.

THAT is my favorite Queen typo.
Hmm... A Day At The Races is very stylish as well...

Exactly! Mine too!
And I like the old-fashioned Innuendo style, too.

One of my friends has a t-shirt that says that.

10.07.2004 16:57		 "Time -- The Ablum" (as misspelled on the spine of the LP).
And, on my promo copy of SHA..."Brighten Rock".
OYYYYY!!!
(There's a copy on Ebay just like it if you'd like to view the typo!)

OK, then my earlier one is to be diregarded, and thanks for clearing that up.

10.07.2004 19:08		 I really hated the MIH/Queen Rocks era...all the typefaces had that generic look, like someone just typed them on a computer, with the changing hues of color that seemed a couple years out of style IMHO.

I saw someone type Queen as "Quenn" like six times in one paragraph... I think that would have to be my favorite. ;)
The Black Queen
10.07.2004 22:10		 Probably on my SHA vinyl:
Brighten Rock
and then there's:
Tenement Funster!
Sonja
11.07.2004 04:49		 Queen I and II and on the Greatest Hits II and III.
Brianmay1975
11.07.2004 04:57		 I like it on the Hot Space album, very simple, but elegant. And on my ANATO vynil too. And Queen/Queen II is great also.

Ohh...I read this wrong! You mean "typeface", right?
Every single one of them! Each one suited the album it was meant for. Instantly recognisable!
(Including the 45s, BTW!!)

11.07.2004 18:31		 I once read that they could have massive arguments about what the Q looked like.

13.07.2004 10:58		 That's right. Freddie wanted everything to be perfect, down to what was on the inner sleeve!
