If You Can Read This, You're Hired

London design firm Lunar BBDO put up posters advertising design positions... and set the text of the ads entirely in a blend of dingbats. "It seemed appropriate that we should make the ad type-based, so we asked ourselves what would appeal to the best typographers in the world." While there is a legitimacy issue involved with basing design and typography skills on what is basically codebreaking ability (not to mention the question of whether good typography involves dingbats at all), the ads were meant in geeky fun and Lunar found some like-minded hires.
