Here are the third, fourth, and fifth submissions for my "Helvetica diaries" series, first seen here and here. Simply put: it's going to be a once-in-a-while post that includes a quote, saying, song lyric, or random thought printed out on white paper using black Helvetica font.
Today I have three prints that would make great Valentine's gifts for lovers and friends if printed and framed. Below they are available as free downloadable .pdfs if you wish to print the sentiment(s) for yourself or someone you know. It's as easy as clicking the download link, and printing from your computer. In these prints' case, the size is 8x10 inches.
This first Helvetica diary piece is for the romantic. The words are from a song I heard a few weeks ago called "I Was Made for Sunny Days" while I was in a shopping mall. I can picture pairing this print with a mixed CD of love songs in which this song was the first track. It's adorable (and so true in this snow we East Coasters have been having). You can hear the song below.

The next Helvetica diary print comes from the NONONO song "Pumpin' Blood." If you have a free-spirited friend who is maybe without a date this year, this print might be perfect for him/her. It references the heart - the symbol - of February 14th, but not in a cheesy way...and come on: those lyrics are great all year 'round.

If the first print would be for Charlotte, and the second for Carrie, I imagine this one would so totally be for Miranda. No, it's not a song lyric, but rather a quote from the great George Carlin. I kind of love it. Try and tell me with a straight face that you don't know a handful of girlfriends who wouldn't love to unwrap this framed print next Friday along with a cute heart-shaped box of chocolates. The thought of it thrills me! (If you do it, LET ME KNOW! Haa!)
