Van Halen Hot For Typographers

An informant tipped us that last night’s AIGA/LA & House Industries event at the Eames Office would be star-studded but we had no idea how studded it would be. Normally we would have gotten all excited about Shepard Fairey and Coop, who were both spotted in the crowd but it turns out Alex Van Halen and David Lee Roth were also in attendance. They’re the big smilers with House’s Andy Cruz, above. Even if plans for their reunion tour haven’t quite solidified, it appears that when it comes to design, they might as well jump.

We’re calling it right now. A Van Halen-inspired font is in House’s future.

Create a social media strategy, launch your campaign, and track the results in our Social Media Marketing Boot Camp starting February 16.
