Typographic Taunting, 2010 Edition

in

Last year, after South Carolina beat Clemson, I built a quick font based on South Carolina’s Block C logo. I called it Scoreboard and included a glyph that had the SC-Clemson score for the 2009 game. Well, after South Carolina once again beat Clemson on Saturday, I decided to update the font with this year’s score. (I previously had added the USC baseball team’s national championship score this summer, but never posted about it.) Anyway, download Scoreboard for free at Fontstruct…

My newest Fontstruction is very simple. Scoreboard is based on the University of South Carolina’s block “C” logo. I took the basic concept and extended it to an entire alphabet. (For now, it’s uppercase only.)

Of course, it’s also fun to release this font after South Carolina destroyed in-state rival Clemson on Saturday. I’ve added a few characters to commemorate the victory.

 



It’s not my first South Carolina/Clemson inspired font. My first Fontstruct release, Big Thursday, was inspired by an old poster for the 1959 game.
