SVA Transit Ads
Have you seen the School of Visual Arts ads appearing in the subway? In the past they have done some fairly remarkable ads and my impression was that they were done by students. Or at least featured the work of students.
As a former student of SVA and a great admirer of many of the faculty, I have always attempted to support the school. (Even though my degree is from Parsons!) Having said that, the typography on the current ads is a disaster! The letter spacing -- even on the name of the school -- is way, way off. There are ads that have two kinds of sans serif type. I really see no excuse. Have a look and see if you are as shocked as me!

I haven't seen these yet! Are they on the SVA site as well (hunted a bit but was unsuccessful)? I've always heard incredibly mixed reviews of SVA. You're right, though—there is no excuse for bad type.
