Edit: closed, I got plenty of responses, thank you fediverse!

Any graphic designers focused on #typography here? I'm wanting to convert/remaster one of my old logos, expand it into a (partial) font I could use for videos. I have the tools, but not the time or experience to know what needs fixing.

If you're interested and have created/edited fonts before, DM me your related portfolio and we can talk. If you know someone who may be interested, please boost. #GraphicDesign #font #FontForge #logo

This weeks #Lego #FossilFriday is #Gigantspinosaurus.

It was found in 1985 by Ouyang Hui near Jinquan, and reported as a Tuojiangosaurus in 1986 by Gao Ruiqi and colleagues.

It wasnt until 1992 when Gigantspinosaurus was described and named by Ouyang for an abstract lecture. But the name was generally considered a nomen nudum (not recognised as a species) in the west.

In 2006 it was disclosed that the abstract contained sufficient description to be recognised as its own species.
