Last Month's Feature and Survey Winners
Last month we featured "Three Rising Stars," including Silentina, the Silent Movie Font. Did you know that Silentina is the inspiration behind another font family?

Responses to last month's customer survey were overwhelming. Thank you for your suggestions! We selected five prize winners - from over 10,000 survey respondents - in our random drawing. Three of our winners tell us:

"Cooking, decorating and entertaining are my hobbies. My husband and I belong to a gourmet dinner group with four other couples who get together at each other's homes every other month. I am in the process of planning, coordinating and catering my oldest daughter's wedding. With all these 'jobs' to do, finding the perfect font at your site made my day and took one more item off my to do list. Thanks!"
- Lynn Garcia of San Diego, California (winner of an Indie Fonts book)

"Through out the years, I've maintained my freelance through the State of Mind Design. I enjoy creating a client's message, look and feel. MyFonts.com makes creativity with type easy. Keep up the good ideas."
- Marilyn Stephens of Treasure Island, Florida (winner of The Cambridge Collection)

"Out-of-hours I'm a ... Stage Manager for 'Zodiac Amateur Operatic Society.' I also write, edit, design, publish and print Zodiac's posters and programmes. I'm not an artist or a print professional but a keen amateur who wishes to know how to do the job properly. And that--of course--includes fonts. Understanding them, choosing them, and buying them. One of my rules, which also applies to books and software: if it's worth using then it's worth paying for."
- Roger Turner of Frodsham, U.K. (winner of an Indie Fonts book)

Thank you, Lynn, Marilyn, and Roger!
