OK, this writing is ridiculously big, I mean, look how zoomed out we are! That’s some dedication there.

Staples Centre, LA

Following on from the ‘Dave’ post yesterday I’ve created a new category for legible text called ‘Large Type’.

The first of which is the Staples Centre, LA (Props: jbum). I’d like to think they put the text there on the off chance that James Bond was passing by in a helicopter and really needed a paperclip to defuse the bomb that was onboard. He’d look out the window, spot the Staples Centre, the world would be safe and he’d be home in time for Tea.

It’s more likely that the centre is in a popular flight-path – but you never know ;-)

Only just legible, but very cool, the Hollywood sign. Now I don’t need to go there to see it.
