God Will Note Examine Our Medals & Diplomas But Our Scars (Leo Wyatt)

$50.00

If there’s one thing we’re always saying, it’s that God will not examine our medals and diplomas but our scars. Of course, if God saw our disgusting high school and college diplomas he’d have to turn away. Those things are so ugly that they make our scars look good. Why do diplomas need to be so typographically awful? In 2002 we tried to get a diploma job. We set this nice certificate in Centaur caps and small caps spaced with excruciating care. The name was hand-set in Arrighi and printed in red. It would have been a nice gig. I think we wanted $20 per certificate but the college was paying $3. Anyway, this is a nice bit of lettering and engraving by Leo Wyatt printed at Leonard Baskin’s Gehenna Press in 1968.
