And, and, and, and, and, and...to benefit Haitian relief

The tragedy of Haiti has brought out some unusual fundraising initiatives; one of these is Font Aid IV, from the Society of Typographic Afficionados (SOTA).  The proceeds from the sale of a special font will go to Doctors Without Borders. Previously Font Aid ventures have benefited war and disaster refugees and the victims of 9/11. According to a story in Dexigner,

Type designers, graphic designers and other artists from around the world are invited to contribute artwork to be included in a typeface created exclusively for the Font Aid IV effort.

The theme of Font Aid IV is "Coming Together" which will represented though a font consisting entirely of ampersands.

 Unfortunately, the deadline to submit a black-and-white "ampersand" icon (vector image, not bitmap, send in EPS format) to the competition is only 3 days away, January 29.
