HOUSE KICKS ASS!

HEY! Ya know sometimes I dont think ppl read these things. Oh well here goes...So I was tryin to pick which group of ppl or person I liked...I came across the works of House Industries. I found that I actually like their work. I find the fonts to be very playful/fun. Im not the type of person who can continuously,(did I spell that right?) stay serious for a long period of time. Thats why being in Gregg's class is been a blast for the past 2 semesters. He just knows how to conduct a class without....nm this isnt about Gregg at the moment.Its about House Industries and how cool their fonts are. So you can find some of their fonts on FOX NFL, shell station, Lucky charms, my little pony,chutes and ladders...and many more famous sightings. In picking fonts of children's toys or having the sense of seriousness but also laid back...House Industries is the way to go. *shows thumbs up
