“A few weeks ago,” writes<\/a> John Gruber, “designer James Barnard made this TikTok video<\/a> about what seemed to be a few mistakes in HBO\u2019s logo. He got a bunch of crap from commenters arguing that they weren\u2019t mistakes at all. Then he heard from the designer of the original version of the logo, from the 1970s.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

@barnardco<\/a> \u201cWho. Cares? Unfollowed\u201d This is how a *lot* of people responded to my post about the mistake in the HBO logo. For those that didn\u2019t see it, the H and the B of the logo don\u2019t line up at the top of the official vector version from the website. Not only that, but the original designer @Gerard Huerta700 got in touch! Long story short, we\u2019re all good, and Designerrrs\u2122 community members can watch my interview with Gerard Huerta where we talk about this and his illustrious career! #hbo<\/a> #typography<\/a> #logodesign<\/a> #logo<\/a> #designtok<\/a>  original sound – James Barnard<\/a><\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n
