tna(awe) AWE Lettering 1996 October 1996 Newsletter (9611) Introduction What s up all Just wanna say a few things about AWE before you go and view the second pack AWE is brought to you by two of the greatest fontists as well as two of the nicest guys i ve seen in the computer art world These two aside from being able to draw some of the best fonts known to the scene have taken the time out approximately four months ago and taught me how to draw ansi fonts Now they both moved on to create a new kind of group in the ansi scene a group that respects the views of the logo artists a group that is made up of well logo artists and some of the bests i must say I d like to thank everyone in the group for being part of this logo breakthrough in the scene AWE is more than a group it is also a redefinition of ansi logos which have always been overlooked Now on that note welcome to the second pack of AWE Lettering Mass Murderer (iCE) Informations Hey The Night Angel speaking What s up Nothing much happened this month except maybe our bud The 4th Disciple leaving the group for Klex something ( a group founded by Dieznyik ) and a few new faces to AWE These new faces consist of Cheeze Formerly of Eclipse he joined AWE after the death of his group I think he is pretty well known to the scene He is like a new school toon god or something ) Pzyko I first saw this guy in Eclipse even though he has been in a couple of other groups His style looks a bit like weird graf- fiti I dunno how to call that but he is DAMN good so check out his stuff He rules Samurai Coming from Dark Samurai will be dualing with a new group he started which is called Project 3oi or something I totally fell in love with that Earth 2 logo he released in Dark (I dunno when though) so I let him in and beg him to see more fonts like that one Skold Here s another guy from Eclipse He is also known as Sir Death I just dunno which nick he decided to take so lets call him Skold for this month ) He s coming to AWE from ACiD I think which he has been in for a month or something after leaving Eclipse Warpus What can i say about her She s like a phunk master I would ve liked to say more but master defines quite well what she is Widowmaker That guy came to us from Eclipse too (we like got all Eclipse members after the death of the group ) Widowmaker used to draw some kinda newschool fonts But after helping him a bit he became some kinda weird graffiti-looking fontist I really have no idea how I could describe him I m pretty happy he has been refused to iCE so we re going to have ALL his logos in the group It s just to bad for iCE ) These guys have all some pretty cool stuff this month check it out This month we were also proposed by Halaster to merge with Fire and create the Fire Font Division I kinda liked the idea of being in Fire since Halaster is a pretty cool guy After talking a bit with Fluor we agreed that it would be better not to merge We were also proposed by The 4th Disciple (before his departure) & Dieznyik to merge with a new group created by Dieznyik (I think) After puting the channel +i kicking a few people and having a long talk we decided that we weren t gonna merge with any groups since it does not correspond with the idea we have on AWE So don t even bother asking ) A pretty sad thing happened at the beginning of the month which is the death of a totally awesome group Samsara The death of the group is a pretty weird thing to me since i haven t read the Samsara newsletter yet As far as I know Eerie decided to kill the group because he reached his goal which i have no idea what it was but was certainly not that hard to reach since they only released four packs ) Anyway we hope every members of Samsara enjoy their stay wherever they are now But unfortunatly the death of Samsara brings us a problem which is related to ansi pictures where are we gonna release our pics now Well as for now we only have a few so we do not care that much about it but we should have a lot more next month (December 1996) So after giving out ideas about what to do with em we finally agreed on something every month if there are enough pics there is gonna be a zipped file in the pack which is going to be called PICSyymm ZIP where yy is year and mm the the month of the present pack So every month (we hope so) there is gonna be a zipped file with all the pics I d like to say that the idea came from Legend which used to have a file called FONTSxx ZIP with all the logos of the month I remember how pissed off i was when i saw the Legend Homepage with that text from Neurotic explaining why they were doing this They said it was because fonts aren t art Well Neurotic (if you are reading this which i really doubt ) i don t consider comic rips has being art either so fuck off Oh and another thing i don t consider those fonts you put under your pics has being art major grin But we re are still talking about that zip Some people agree and some others don t As for now I doubt there is ever going to have a PICSyymm ZIP file So like forget that paragraph I wrote ) I wrote that paragraph two weeks ago that s why we kinda changed our mind But I still think what I wrote about Legend and Neurotic ) Members Speak Btw Warpus wanted to say a few things to all of you guys So here is her little letter There s something I d like all of you to know Contrary to popular belief I m actually a chick I ve been trying to be a guy all my life I dressed up as a guy and I even But I won t get into that (thank tna) A couple days ago I realized that what I was doing was stupid and just Not fair to my friends Sorry I ve been lying to all of you all these years I ll make it up to you Somehow I know this must come as a shock to some of you especially my friends from 519 But What can I say I was just trying to fit in I was just trying to be cool Please forgive me Signed Warpus There s also Widowmaker who wanted to blabble a few things Here s what he s got to say ) Word this is Widowmaker here Well as you may or may not know I fucking BLEW before I met TNA and Fluor I love you guys and I owe alot to you because you have both helped me and influenced me so much in the past several weeks I ve come a long way from the time I met those guys a couple months ago and I really appreciate what they did Also Warpus I seriously wanna know what the fuck you are ) OH! I d also like to add a comment about my homie sir death I can mack any bitch -sir death Well me and infusium decided to see if this was true or not so we all went to the mall or whatever and fucking put him to the test FUCK THAT THE CHICKS DIDN T EVEN FUCKING LOOK AT HIM! HAHAHAHAH! Sorry Brian I had to man now you get one cut on me P ANYWAYS I hope everyone loves the AWE pack I know I m going to Later Widowmaker(AWE) Useless Stuff g I ve included a copy of Cheeze s discussion with Nom de Plume (aka Soul Manager) in this month pack because I feel kinda concerned about what happened since the guy used my name to get Spinal Gamma s setup and that Rai Defiant and Cheeze are friends of mine But I m not including AWE in this fight I just thought it d be the best way to let people know that there might be another fake The Night Angel on their board Oh yeah another thing that lamer said he was going to take all the Free Coke ansis that have been done make a setup and run it So like don t call the fake Free Coke and wait till i get my line ) Conclusion This Month I would like to dedicate the pack to The Despised (aka Maestro) Keep up the good work Steve You ll become as elite as you used to be! ) I would like to greet the following persons for different reasons which are from help and comments to providing us some inspiration etc Magnetic M Aphex Twin Syntax Error Lord Jazz Eerie Halaster Iodine Deeply Disturbed Cold and Ugly and finally Mass Delusion I would also like to greet my girlfriend Annie who went to some stupid party tonight so I can have the time to get that second pack out )
