Mad Men font fail, or was it?
Yesterday, while catching up on Mad Men episodes I missed from this season, I came across this super-awesome and super-nerdy article which questioned whether or not the new Sterling Cooper Draper Price logo was written in Arial font (which was a font created by Microsoft much later than the 1960s), which would be an anachronism.

no way, dude. I've never seen that show, but I know that a TV show would've hired a professional designer/typographer to create their logo, and no professional designer/typographer would use the font arial in a logo, no matter the time period of the TV show in question. having said that, I will go read the article and see if I'm right. :D
