Mike BaBoon Design

Yes, I know we should all be eating kale. But aren't you really craving fast food?

I recently had a request to prepare the name WYATT in letters that were inspired by the art of Eric Carle. It turned out well:

I had worked out the characters here a while back but the unbelievable success of Pokemon Go inspired me to finally finish it. As an added challenge, I chose to limit each species to one letter. Which is why you see Ivysaur but no Bulbasaur, Wartortle but no Squirtle... You've gotta name them all...

For the first ABC3PO Alphabet , I challenged myself to only use characters from the 6 original films. For this lower case sequel, I decided to broaden the scope and include any characters from the newly established official Star Wars canon (7 films, Rebels, Clone Wars). Only one character (X) doesn't fit that criteria:

I thought this was a fun little mash up. The characters just worked so well together. I’m considering a whole series.

I recently received a very touching email from a young man named Nicholas Machado: Dear Mr. Boon, My name is Nicholas Machado from Virginia.  I am 10 years old.  I like how you customize alphabets into cool designs.  So, I have a picture of the NATO Phonetic Alphabet in pictures.  When you have the list, search up pictures on Google of the letters and soon you will find how these make sense.  You inspired me to do it.  I hope you think this is awesome. Love, Nicholas Machado PS Look in the "M".  There is a message for you. I later learned from his father John that Nicholas is on the autistic spectrum and has Asperger's Syndrome.  At first, I was greatly moved by Nicholas' sweetness, but after closely looking at his design, I am also very impressed by the inventiveness of his design. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do: Thank you for sharing Nicholas. 

After having so much fun with my Horror Icon Alphabet , I wanted to offer another typographic tribute to the villains and bad guys we all love to hate. Presenting the Evil-phabet: Have fun figuring out who is who. They are all based on animated villains and I restricted myself to one image per film.
