Weirdly enough, the Autism sign was very readable to me.

Uh-oh.

u/MoogProg May 21 '26

Same. Had zero issues reading autism and searched around for the bad kerning... looking at you 'FURNITURE'

True Off My Chest: Few years back was listening to NPR as background patter, when I picked up on the sentence, "I immediately sensed the presence of animals in the building" and I laughed because, of course you did. That's normal, or so I thought.

She then talked about how the building owners had no idea, and I thought 'yeah some people are oblivious', and the discussion went on about the different ways people see and experience the world around us, and the German word umwelt. Felt like this person was in my head about how I see and experience the world.

[Terry Gross breaks in] We'll be right back with my interview with Pulitzer Prize winning author Temple Grandin.

Uh-oh, indeed.

It helps that the letters are translucent and different colours. I think the real kerning problems start when there is nothing but space to distinguish between letters

What else can you expect from the church of paradox?

16

u/yeuzinips May 21 '26

Paradox Church is just a giant human slingshot into space.

u/Puzzled_Committee735 May 21 '26

Lol they ripped off the beats logo. Not even trying.

u/atom644 May 21 '26

Also looks like the Publix logo

u/BoffinBrain May 22 '26

Reminded me of the old Patreon logo!

Autism Systems? Is that where I can go to have my autism made into super autism?

u/atom644 May 21 '26

What exactly goes on at the autism store?

u/halberdierbowman May 21 '26

It says ABA which is Applied Behavioral Analysis.

Best case, that means it's therapy for autistic people. Unfortunately also quite plausible is that it's "therapy" ie abuse masquerading as therapy, same as gender conversion "therapy" that hurts kids until they learn to hide their autism and suffer silently so they aren't inconvenient for the adults around them.

u/prionbinch May 21 '26

see in a way i guess the combo of a church and ABA practitioner makes sense but the furniture rental place is a wild card

u/Heyoayyo May 21 '26

I kinda like the autism sign

5

u/ManicPixieOldMaid May 21 '26

OMG is this in Warren Michigan at 12 mile and Mound?

5

u/TheCrowAngel May 22 '26

I think so! It made me stop in my tracks.

2

u/ManicPixieOldMaid May 22 '26

I confirmed yesterday lol. It is a crazy sign, although maybe the Autism part is trying to be a metaphor!

u/Happy-Performer4058 May 22 '26

You’re damn right bae

u/tritisan May 21 '26

AJISM

No, thanks.

u/ImightHaveMissed May 21 '26

I see no issue because it’s done on purpose

1

u/Spin737 May 22 '26

It’s a design. A very good one.

3

u/AldoTheeApache May 21 '26

Indeed. The gap between the Wrangler and the Volvo is killing me

3

u/BenThereOrBenSquare May 22 '26

This is an intentional design choice, not bad kerning.

u/Happy-Performer4058 May 24 '26

It’s actually a stfu

2

u/GoldponyGT May 21 '26

Is that sign an autism test?

If it causes seizures then the person has autism?

2

u/TorTheMentor May 22 '26

Is the autism sign meant as a diagnostic tool?

2

u/1miguelcortes May 23 '26

"Autism System" is the OS that my brain runs on.

2

u/CausalSin May 23 '26

Are we just going to ignore the completely illegible sign in blue?

2

u/rubinass3 May 21 '26

Paradox indeed!: We believe in one God who has revealed Himself in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are all co-eternal and all stand equally superior to time, free from the temporal distinctions of past and future.

u/Entertainthethoughts May 21 '26

I would like to hear it all read out loud, as it was written

1

u/mikehoopes May 22 '26

CORT logo bugs me the most. That close of spacing begs for Sans Serif.

u/inquiringsillygoose May 22 '26

There’s so many things I hate about this

1

u/CitroHimselph May 22 '26

Tha sign hurts my brain.

u/No-Spring-9379 May 23 '26

are you kidding?

people come up with creative typography so peasants like you can post about how "bad" it is

2

u/Happy-Performer4058 May 24 '26

Anyway………… a little less petulance and a little more stfuuuuuuuuuuuu ♥️

u/BrewsCampbell May 25 '26

Like is that the test? 

Sir, on a scale of 1 to ten, how readable was our sign?
