Entry 2 – Helvetica – Lisa

Me pointing at some helvetica in Porirua

I found this example of Helvetica around the corner from the Warehouse in Porirua. It was on the fence in front of their dockway.I chose this example of Helvetica becasue I liked it. It is saying DANGER  ELECTRIFIED FENCE and the Helvetica makes it clear to read. I also like the juxtaposition of having the font in different colours on the same sign. This sign is just under the sign for the Warehouse, which looks very similar, but it is in Arial, not Helvetica. The two signs do look like they are using the same font except if you look closely at the ‘S’ on Warehouse. In Helevetica the terminals on the ‘S” end on a horizontal line. I like the sign iin Helvetica better as it looks better visually.
