Pictos @font-face Icon Font

Pictos by Drew Wilson is one of my favorite sets of icons that have made their way into virtually every design project over the last several months—including the Inspire Well theme.  Converting the icon set into a font file seems like a genius move that lets you embed the icons as @font-face type.  This allows the designer to have far more control over size, color and appearance of the icons with CSS text styling.  The only downside I can think of would be random letters used for the icon font throughout your HTML.

Simplified Look - NFL on Fox

Michael Cina and Michael Young presented Fox Sports with a new on-air package for NFL on Fox that greatly simplifies the current over the top bevel-fest that all networks use.  Fox was looking for a simplified approach that improved legibility and would help them stand out as all the other networks are just borrowing each other’s style.  This would be an incredible step forward, and hopefully we will be seeing something in this direction in the fall.
