Spectacular Holiday Typography
The Holidays are finally here. The hustle and bustle of Christmas is very obvious as the malls and stores are packed out with last-minute shoppers searching for presents to give away to the friends and loved ones. Christmas is in about 24 hours (here in Long Beach), and the new year is just around the corner.
Here at Design Informer, we want to say:
“Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.”
But we don’t just want to say it in a regular way. We wanted to greet you in a typographic way. Here’s 40 different holiday-themed, typographic designs that we have gathered to relay our greetings to you. Merry Christmas!
Note: Please click on the images to see them in their websites and to learn more about their artists.
Well, thanks for viewing and if you liked this post, please stumble, moo, blend, float, digg and bump it. I would really appreciate it you retweeted it as well so more people can see it. You can follow me on twitter here.

Becky
December 24th, 2009 3:58 amI love 4 & 7, but all the images are awesome. Some great food for thought, now I wish I’d had time to make some beautiful typography-based Christmas cards! Oh well, always next year :)
Jad Limcaco

Josh
December 24th, 2009 4:00 amA stunning collection of typography. They are all fascinating. The last one on the list has a very cool grunge texture. Reminds of the old coca-cola Christmas adverts. I also like the complementary colours in #3. It is simple but effective.
This post is a fantastic source of inspiration. Thanks and Merry Christmas Jad!
Jad Limcaco
December 24th, 2009 6:04 pmHey Josh, I completely agree. I really do love the vintage feeling of the last one.

December 24th, 2009 7:16 amCool collection of fonts guys! Not sure if I really have a use for all of them, but I’m sure they can kick me into the Christmas mode

December 24th, 2009 10:36 amHuge fan of typography and out of all of them #3 grabbed the spot of being my favorite. Great collection.
Jad Limcaco
December 24th, 2009 6:06 pmLot’s of people love #3. I guess it’s because of the clever way it was displayed mixed with the simplicity of the design and the colors used. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us David.
Oliver

December 24th, 2009 1:53 pmVery Nice! Intereseting poem on “Christmas Quote” like that: “…and to think of people below them as fellow passengers to the grave…” Good job! Keep it up.

December 24th, 2009 6:27 pmHello Jad,
Once more from the Middle East: Really nice work and as you can see on this page, everybody from different places on the planet loved your artwork.
Just one “web” thing: Please change links to open a new pages in new tabs to avoid pressing “back” for returning to this page.
I really enjoyed visiting your site.
Best wishes from Syria and happy new and every year
Jad Limcaco
December 27th, 2009 3:53 amHey Mounes, thanks for the compliment.
Thank you for your suggestion, it’s a great one. Unfortunately, I used to have it that way and more people said that they don’t like new windows and would rather stay on the same window. :)
Carl D
December 24th, 2009 6:48 pmSimply amazing! Thanks for the collection. Sometime I wonder on average how long does it take those talented artists to create one. I think it would take me forever for one letter, let alone a single word. Have a blessed Christmas and a Happy New year!
