Under download above you can still see the bad copy of the Typomania video that I did for the BBC almost 25 years ago. Two fellow typomaniacs have taken the sound track from that video and remixed it into Typefaces give us signals. See and hear for yourselves:
Wonderful!
Now that I’ve seen the original movie as well – I must say that both are pioneering into the world of applied semiotics…although I very much prefer the original then the new (trendy-looking) one… but if placed in a party club I might go with that one as well. :)
I also wanted to tell you that I would really really enjoy a book written by you – I dug out the Stop Stealing Sheep – and I’m definitely going to buy it now. I am much more curious on the ‘mania’ side than the ‘typo'(although the melange of both is bigger than the sum of the individual parts – excuse the cliche -)
I’m hoping to find a more in depth view about your studies&process in there.
Here is a link to abductive reasoning that I would like to share:

best wishes.
wow – that site has small type, and light grey!
:)))))
– mea culpa –
the light grey transforms itself into black over time as I learn more on a particular topic … although I wouldn’t count it as a design feature :)- more of a self-awareness meter … ( so I can track topics back in time and compare with the notes from my journals )

Many warm greetings
Great soundtrack (and commentary). Still prefer the original visuals. Not saying it wasn’t a good idea…
