Font trivia

I used to be sort of a font geek but eventually became overwhelmed by the sheer number of fonts that were available. I also settled on a few favorites and became disinterested in the rest. Even so, this little game was fun and worth the 5 minutes it took to play it. I scored 19 out of 34 which is probably better than everybody I know except Rob.

Guitar icons

How well do you know the great guitar players of rock? Planet Rock has a Guitar Icons Quiz that shows 50 guitar players and asks you to name each of them. I only got 25, but I think I did pretty well. I only missed two that I think I should have had. How well can you do?
