Dave — Sorry, man. Be sure to take a good look at those thumbs, cause I think I’m gonna be nuking them next week.

Chris,
you just got me in trouble with the wife. Those photos in the sidebar took some explaining. Somehow I related it back to blog research but it took some convincing.

Thank you once again, Chris! I did initially think it was Avenir until I looked at the glyphs closely. I was also looking at Direct, but the lowercase ‘g’ is tweaked.

I’ll also take a browse through famfamfam and iconfactory. Thanks again!

Daniel — My primary branding font is the commercially-licensed Gotham, which is available from Hoefler & Frere-Jones at typography.com. Gotham is often confused with Avenir, another commercially-licensed font that is extremely ubiquitous and available from Linotype. My "icons" are actually dingbats in most cases. There are a huge number of dingbat fonts available, many of which are either free or pre-packaged with your OS. On sites besides Pearsonified, I sometimes use icons from famfamfam, iconfactory, and other random sets that I've run across.

Chris,

I haven’t found anyway to contact you off site. I just want to ask a simple question, since I’m using the Cutline theme.

I have the font that you’re using on all your sites for titling and design elements (the titling face shown in your sidebar here), but I can’t think of the name and can’t locate it. Can you please tell me what the name is, so I can stop pulling my hair out over here?

Also, where are you getting all these great 2.0 icons you’re using on all your themes?

Thanks, and sorry for the message here. But – you don’t provide any alternatives!

Daniel

Chris seems to be busy with Celebrity Hack now. I keep checking every day to see if Pearsonified is updated, though. Where are you, Chris?

What happened? After the bloggies I have seen a significant drop in posts . . .

Chris,

You are killing me with the text in that picture! If you’ll be at the battle of the “top engineering / football institutions in the country” this year let me know. Go Hokies.

Mistercharlie — Due to an incredibly lackluster response, the gadget giveaway portion of our show is over.

However, the response to darn near everything else has been amazing, so I should be posting more than ever. Based on the last couple of days, I believe that this change will give me a better opportunity to intermingle with readers in the comments.
