Famous Objects from Classic Movies is a game where they show you…wait for it…famous objects from classic movies. The objects are in silhouette, and get harder as you progress through the levels. The guessing is done hangman-style, so you can get some right if you guess letters well. If you see the Empire State Building and think “Sleepless in Seattle”, you might not do so well.

I finished it with a 74 and 48 record — not bad considering I’d never heard of some of them. I’m completely pissed that I missed “The Shinning”!

WARNING: Don’t start this game if you have work to do!

David Friedman put together a quiz using well-known logos to see if you can spot the difference between Arial and Helvetica. I got 19, out of 20, right on my first attempt, and I didn’t use any of his suggested resources prior to taking the quiz. Since I don’t have a design background, and have a passing interest in the whole “Arial vs. Helvetica” debate, I’m actually a little proud of my results.
