Logo Cities is a proposed conference in Montreal (perverse orthography: Montréal) “addressing signage, branding and lettering in public space, with a particular focus on the city of Montréal [perverse orthography sic].” And of course Blackett is in there alreay trying to own the turf for the Spacers. Maybe he’ll give a presentation about how Toronto’s entire identity revolves around little acorns on old streetsigns.
What I asked Matt Soar in an E-mail, to which he has refused to respond, was this: You aren’t planning on doing something so rash as to charge speakers to attend, are you? Because, I add now, only total arseholes do that. And, I mean, Matt Soar has written for Eye, so we know he isn’t that.
