Trikaseh adik manis MERAUNG KESEPIAN,
untuk gambar yang lazat dan enak2 belaka di atas.

Mamak ini (di mana ya?) has a rather interesting signboard
in three types of typefaces: 

1. SERIF
(middle, spelling out RESTORAN VARGINA)

2. SANS SERIF (bottom portion)

3. Arabic script (top portion)

UGLY MALAYSIANA
BEING QUITE ANAL RETENTIVE
ABOUT TYPOGRAPHY,
SPOTTED A DESIGN FAUX PAS
IN THE SANS SERIF PORTION OF
THE SIGNAGE ABOVE.
THE PROBLEM IS
A TECHNICAL ONE:

GUEST POST oleh Encik Tanah dari Taman Seputeh


(GUEST POST featuring Maskot Sukan Malaysia 2012)

Oleh: ENCIK TANAH

Sukan Menjana Perpaduan Gajah -Gajah. If you see the 'manusia gajah' mascots properly ha, actually Tahan is kicking Rajah ass and Puteh also wanna do the same to Teku. You can see fear in Teku's kawaiii eyes. I wonder what is their reationship and what's up with the violent behaviour :)

but Rajah is high on drug (see the face), that's why he/she happily celebrating his/her ass being kicked by Tahan. "boleh Tahan la" kata Rajah, yang kebal setelah memakan flora flora yang mempunyai nilai perubatan yang tinggi.

owh! they all in one family! Jadi keganasan rumah tangga dalam keluarga yang dysfunctional. (subliminal message is -don't dare to question us kid, the parent always right)

THE END


COMMENT FROM MS. SAKURA BLOSSOM:
i like that they made the father wearing pink tshirt instead of the mom,...hehe

RESPONSE FROM ENCIK TANAH: yeah, maybe because he is the closeted gay born in malay muslim family in the highly homophobic society somewhere in daerah Pekan, Pahang. That's why, sexually repressed individual caused the violent behaviour

Special Report: Logo Kemerdekaan Ke-55 LOL...



Apa ni? 

LOVELY. A compilation Merdeka logos from Hussein Onn's reign (1976-1980), 
with the bulk of it being from the Mahathir-era (1981-2000)
and a little bit of Badawi (2007-2008 logos). 

Mostly endearing, sweet emblems of unity, progress. 
Pretty, graphical shapes, many symmetrical, building blocks of pride and patriotism. Nostalgic. 
Some are simple to construct, but in its simplicity, there is calculated precision

DID YOU KNOW: Adobe Illustrator did not exist in the 80s ya.
Makes the 'vintage logos' that much more special kan?


NAJIB'S REIGN, 2009

 EH EH APA NI?
Hanya nampak 1Malaysia logo for 3 years
(refer to above graphic, bottom right corner)

Najib Era, no creativity ke? Change tagline jer? Rakyat Sejahtera? Betul ke? 
Talk about progress tapi three years logo also never progress one? So same same... tak jelak?
See it on trains, on ugly diaper boxes, on TV, in post offices.... Familiarity breeds __________ ?


* * *

OK... BEB:
2012 punya logo...

THIS HERE IS THE JEWEL OF NAJIB'S GOVERNMENT,
REPRESENTING MALAYSIA AS THE MODERN, EFFICIENT, 
FORWARD THINKING (but not so, sometimes
AND WORLD KELAS GITEW
nation that we think we are.

"MERDEKA 55 LOGO IS GROSS LOL"
But to many, this is a fugly work of design ya. There's a tutorial where you can 'throw this together' on your own (you do not need complex Illustrator formulas either). The fonts are the 'default computer' types. Assembled last minute by a secretary with MS Word kot? 

"MAKES ME WANT TO PUKE"—ANONYMOUS
It is embarrassing, shameful, and it shows how Najib's administration just probably doesn't care... rileks too much ke? How can anyone let this pass without professional consultation? Or the agency was paid tens of thousands but tasks were 'trickled down' until reach secretary level ke, the rest of the funds evaporated somewhere ah? 

Inspiration: Manila card noticeboards at governmental offices. 
Someone identified an "awek kakitangan kerajaan" as the 'culprit'. But the poor thing probably does not know a thing about typography or design (if you do, Ms Awek Kakitangan Kerajaan... SHAME ON YOU FOR DOING A BAD UGLY JOB. I thought our education veli high macam standard kat UK—so says our deputy PM?). SHAME ON YOU, PERSON-WHO-CONFIRM-THIS-FOR-PRESS-RELEASE also! 

UGLY MALAYSIA honestly wonders if AH JIB KOR is listening to our pleas for a better Merdeka logo. Stick to the phallic 1Malaysia symbol if you need to. This is an insult to Malaysian Design and its legacy, a disrespect towards the other designs in the Merdeka logo archives. 55th logo will stick out like a sore middle finger if placed together with all the rest. PM fears that next time no more chance to play play anymore with the logo so now go all out is it? We don't need this not-so-ironic anti-design being broadcasted 20 meters tall over that UMNO building and UGLYFYING JALAN KUCHING/JALAN IPOH/DAN JALAN2 LAIN. Traffic jams are already too much of an eyesore.
Ish ish ish... Apa dah jadik.......................................

Sekian, trikaseh daun keladi.
Harap dapat berjumpa lagi.

PS: REMEMBER THIS HUMILIATING EPISODE?

singapore is consistently running to the front of the line to build these, then demolish it, then rebuilding it. you could hardly find any space without dust n noise from it. if u are not around to witness it say more than 3 months, then yeah u miss out on it quite abit. human wise... cant say much for them. i cant blame anyone or can i if i can locate them whos responsible to cultivate such bad attitude n expectation for life. my experience in KL 4yrs ago was a pleasent one. visited KL 4 times over 2mths back then. KLians very much eqquipped, easy going n friendly to friend n share thus from one party group u may end up to another more interesting n exciting n happening party neaby. here in spore is different too much kiss n tell.... on things not needed to know. n the good stuff are always not told n kept under blanket for themself.
