Spectacular Holiday Typography

The Holidays are finally here. The hustle and bustle of Christmas is very obvious as the malls and stores are packed out with last-minute shoppers searching for presents to give away to the friends and loved ones. Christmas is in about 24 hours (here in Long Beach), and the new year is just around the corner.

A stunning collection of typography. They are all fascinating. The last one on the list has a very cool grunge texture. Reminds of the old coca-cola Christmas adverts. I also like the complementary colours in #3. It is simple but effective.
This post is a fantastic source of inspiration. Thanks and Merry Christmas Jad!

Huge fan of typography and out of all of them #3 grabbed the spot of being my favorite. Great collection.

  Lot’s of people love #3. I guess it’s because of the clever way it was displayed mixed with the simplicity of the design and the colors used. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us David.

Very Nice! Intereseting poem on “Christmas Quote” like that: “…and to think of people below them as fellow passengers to the grave…” Good job! Keep it up.

  Hey Mounes, thanks for the compliment.
  Thank you for your suggestion, it’s a great one. Unfortunately, I used to have it that way and more people said that they don’t like new windows and would rather stay on the same window.

Simply amazing! Thanks for the collection. Sometime I wonder on average how long does it take those talented artists to create one. I think it would take me forever for one letter, let alone a single word. Have a blessed Christmas and a Happy New year!
