Tony Wilson's tombstone, by Peter Saville -- only 3 years late!

13 years ago

This appears not to have a FAC number. FAC 501, of course, was the coffin.

Previously.

   Stylistically it could have been a FAC. I think it's kind of nice that it's a whitelabel. As it were.

   I wonder if the stone's proportions are 1:4:9?

     I was wondering the same thing. Looks more like 1:5:12 from here, but that might just be perspective talking. 1:4:9 would be pretty excellent.

   So many people mention the typography - I think I'll have my tombstone or plaque written out in comic sans just to drive anyone looking at it nuts.

       No, truely evil would be to have, as an epitath "His favorite font was Helvetica" inscribed in Platypus.

         Arial. You can use it to spot typography fetishists wandering through the graveyard.
