No .... my trademark is clearly an ice cream cone.
The Vanity Fair font is lovely, btw. it's called VF sans and is a custom designed font for Vanity Fair, by Terminal design.
"A geometric sans in five weights and two widths with corresponding obliques. Created for Vanity Fair magazine. Designed to have characteristics of 1930s transportation faces, but following no particular model. The face is used widely throughout the magazine, particularly in all caps on the cover."

PS I think it's a little disingenuous to say " Designed to have characteristics of 1930s transportation faces, but following no particular model."
I bet Mr's Johnson or Gill would be really pissed and calling their solicitors if alive, as their fonts both, Underground and Gill Sans - resonate throughout VF sans. I would argue it's an homage really to those two classic Jazz age font forms, almost a copy.

I love the Vanity Fair font! It seems to be your trademark.
Also, will you be around before Mass Media on Friday so I can return those borrowed books back to your library?
