Sandman, my experience with such projects was that it got stuck forever at some point every single time.
When people shout give me the A* and never come back here, it's ok, because the others can move on. Not the case with a chain.
Don't get me wrong, sometimes the workload is just too much, or maybe the pressure to come up with something decent, or whatever. (I've called them lazy cunts and all, but I hope they know I was joking.)But by all means go for it!
*Doesn't relate to FallowDeer, he submitted his A on time ;)

Come on this was never going to be a usable commercial typeface was it? But as reflection of willing QBN designers it will undoubtedly be of interest. Full marks to jimbob for seeing it through, and for watching a few virtual dummies being spat.
Maybe the follow up is to design a sample poster using all the glyphs...

If we were to go ahead with a chinese whispers typeface we could set a limit of say 2-3 days per character. If the deadline isn't met then the next person in line gets a crack at it instead. It will obviously take a few months to complete to there's no rush is there.

I'm sure once the face is distributed, more fun could be had, posters, etc... however unfortunate it will be incomplete

fuck, send me the shit, I'll fill in the blanks & poster it all over my goddamn bathroom, I'm stoked on my #3, and on so many other characters... im a little disappointed to hear that it's just dead like that (snaps fingers), but seriously, let me make a poster with the words:
QBN IS A BUNCH OF FUSSY, OVERLY SENSITIVE CUNTS.
Now where are those ai files?
