You realize that "got milk" has been beaten to death by every club that
couldn't come up with something more inventive for the past 15 years,
right?

I don't have the font. I found a website with the font for free but the
site wouldn't let me download it. I used a preview picture of the font
on the page and I edited it using MS paint. Now I don't remember where
the site is either.:o

every good advertisment scheme gets beaten to death. A company comes out
with a great slogan or a catchy phrase...a new graphics idea. Then
everyone in their mother comes in behind them and mocks the idea. Im
not saying its a horrible thing. I am sure it is quite flattering to
the designer that his (or her) work was this successful that people
found the need to mock it. I think something more clever would be to
come up with our own unique slogan or phrase and scheme. Not following
the commong trend of things, cause honestly...unicyclists dont tend to
follow common trends 🙂

oh and btw the correct font for the got milk campaign was a font called
Phenix American. To get this font it will cost you as it isnt a
mainstream font. Just pick the closest thing you have and use that,
honestly no one will know better. I have a great collection of fonts as
I am a graphic designer and I dont have this font.

hmm...that's one hell of a Freudian slip.

And Tholub, shaddup....though I must say that I'm thoroughly enjoying
the fact that there's someone on this forum that's as grumpy as I
am...it's just that you are always on the stupid side of things in your
grumpy behavior...oh well...

You're confusing acerbic (me) with obnoxious (you).

Haha, you couldn't have hit the nail on the head any more directly.

I agree with tholub that "got milk" and its many incarnations are about
as worn out as can be. How about a nice quote on balance, if balance
is what you're going for. A simple search resulted in these:

“Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of *balance*, order,
rhythm and harmony.”
Thomas Merton (American and Trappist Monk t Our Lady of Gethsemani
Abbey in Trappist, Kentucky, 1915-1968)

This is a nice one:
“We come into this world head first and go out feet first; in
between, it is all a matter of *balance*.”
Paul Boese

"Be aware of wonder. Live a *balanced* life - learn some and think some
and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day
some."
Robert Fulghum

"I would like to reach a *balance* and forget a few things."
Mick Jagger

And perhaps my favorite balance quote:
"What I dream of is an art of *balance*, of purity and serenity devoid
of troubling or depressing subject matter."
Henri Matisse

If you're into balance quotes, my favourite is often attributed to Pope
John Paul II, though I can't find an original source to verify:
"Man always travels along precipices. His truest obligation is to keep
his balance."
