Thanks, buddy :)
Just for fun:
For @QBranch :
Oh, I see. Still, nice work.
It certainly does :)
The classic Serpentine font from TND appeared on various merch and promotional advertising through to the early Craig era, but did you know that it also pre-dates TND?, with non-italicized Serpentine popping up on the cover of the GoldenEye comic. I think there are even earlier examples than this, but mind's drawing a blank atm.
Yes I think you're absolutely right, but I guess until it's moved on it's still sort of shorthand for the Bond look. I think it's funny how even the IFP novels adopted it as the sort of general Bond style, it does work. The NTTD logo I think is an awesome bit of design to be honest.
One thing I would quite like and I hope we get is a new update to the 007 gun logo. They have kind of gone back to the old style a couple of times for things like the Goldfinger pop-up and the 60th and I think it does look pretty cool. The orange/b/w design language for the 60th, Sound of 007 etc. I thought was really cool.
Heh! That's fun, yes Serpentine was the Bond style for a while after TND, and I guess arguably both TWINE and DAD took their lead from that; both italic, quite modern fonts.
For the artwork of this next era I'd like to see a return of the inclusion of 'Agent' in front of '007', which harkens back to that classic 60s spy/Bondmania vibe.
Examples:
Above the title: "x actor as Ian Fleming's James Bond, Agent 007 in..."
Header: "Agent 007's latest mission"
Back of novelization cover: "How will Agent 007 get out of this one?"

I'd get a kick out of a Bond film abbreviated SOL, lol.
