Good and Bad Typography

Good:



I like how the logo for Gran Turismo 5 looks, since the "GT" as the logo is shaped in a way a car would be shaped. This is important due to the fact that the game is mainly about collecting and driving cars. Notice that the "GT" lacks hard edges like how a modern car lacks hard edges in it's design. The letters also appear to be made up of the same material as a car's body.

Bad:



This is example that I saw from reallybadtype.blogspot.com.
This is a blog that posts examples of bad typography from the world around us.

If you took a quick glance at this label, you will likely read it as "ireless accessories". The company logo is supposed to be used as the "W" for the word "wireless", but it becomes lost due to the way the "W" is spaced far from the rest of the word. It also does not help that there is a contrast between the color of the negative spaces of the "W" and "ireless".
