Google’s World

Spanish illustrator Alejo Malia has created a new series of drawings entitled “Google’s World” that make you wonder what Google Maps icons would look like if they existed in real life. It sure would be a lot easier to find our way. These pieces are beautiful…now how do I get one for my wall? To view the rest of drawings in the series, click here.

Google Maps Font

^^ my bad this can’t all fit on one line, but I’m going to leave it like this because I don’t want to make them any smaller. You get the idea! You know my name.

British researcher Rachel Young recently had a lot of time on her hands. While recovering from surgery, she decided to create a font based on Google Maps locations. For my name above, I used her “New York” style, which is based on locations found in the city. HOBviously.
