Amped up

Here is a funny little tidbit about me:

I have a major thing for ampersands. Car buffs might have a thing for vintage Aston Martins, and me, well as a designer I have a love affair with type. I don't know what it is about the ampersand....but it probably has something to do with the limitless ways it can be stylized and represented:


...it gives any text some personality....what would Koo & Poppet be without it?


Few words are represented by a symbol as universally recognizable as the ampersand. For a little conjunction, and sure gets dressed up.


this one is brilliant in its simplicity and ingenuity (designer epiphany, no doubt):

red & black, rock & roll:
