Ryan in the sketch can be seen saying, 'he (the logo designer) just highlighted Avatar, clicked on the drop-down menu and randomly selected Papyrus. He also explained that he had no clue that they used the Papyrus font for the logo and he actually thought that it was a something that was designed especially for the film. The spoof led by Ryan Gosling showed a fan of Avatar haunted by the revelation that the films logo was simply written in the Papyrus font. I said Alright, guys, we are now doubling down. I'm just astonished that they spent that much money on a little cinematic vignette that's around a, you know, such a whispy thin concept. The filmmaker told BBC Radio 1, "It's haunted me. Amid all the buzz, Avatar director James Cameron, in an interview with BBC Radio 1, quoted a line from the sketch and said, "It's haunted me." LOL. Well, the 2017 video resurfaced on the Internet, aligning with the sequel's release. The hilarious video features the Notebook star constantly complaining about the logo to the extent that it "haunts" him. After the release of James Cameron's Avatar: The Way Of Water, the Internet dug up an old SNL sketch featuring Ryan Gosling, in which the actor is seen obsessing over the use of Papyrus font as the film's logo to a very unhealthy level.
A little more background for those who require one. Ryan Gosling plays the role of Cal Weaver, a father who is trying to reconnect with his estranged son. It was released in the United States on July 22, 2011. The film follows a father who tries to reconnect with his estranged son. I believe it's a well-designed font, it's well-thought out.The odds of chancing upon an old Saturday Night Live sketch titled Papyrus every time you scroll down social media are very high. It stars Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Julianne Moore, Emma Stone, Kevin Bacon and Marisa Tomei. I'm a graphic designer as well, I'm an illustrator. "I really think - and again if I can take this time to apologize to my brother and sister graphic designers. I just started scribbling this alphabet while I was at work and it kind of looked pretty cool."Ĭostello sold the font for $750 and didn't think much of it. "I had no idea it would be on every computer in the world and used for probably every conceivable design idea," he said, revealing that he only receives "very low" royalty payments for the frequently-used and much-maligned font now.Īs to its reputation for being one of the worst fonts designed - outside of Comic Sans? While Costello agrees that Papyrus is "way overused," he thinks it gets unfairly criticized. I was kind of just struggling with some different life issues, I was studying the Bible, looking for God and this font came to mind, this idea of, thinking about the biblical times and Egypt and the Middle East. It was one of the best things I've seen.I designed the font when I was 23 years old. 'It's fun that it stimulated a conversation.' Landau. "I took a look at and me and my wife were like cracking up, I mean we couldn't stop laughing. Absolutely saw it,' Jon Landau, who produced Avatar and this month's sequel Avatar: The Way of Water, told EW of the sketch. Luckily, Costello told CBSN in an interview Sunday he was a fan of the sketch. And it had some unforeseen consequences for the actual creator of the Papyrus font, Chris Costello, who found his inbox flooded with emails the next day. The serious tone of the bit, supported by Gosling's own talents as a dramatic actor, lent to the inanity of the sketch, instantly transforming it into a classic fit for the SNL archives. I forgot about it for years, but then I remembered that 'Avatar,' the giant, international blockbuster, used the Papyrus font as its logo." "I thought it was behind me, but the dreams came back.
"It happened again," Ryan Gosling's haunted narrator says in the season opener for Saturday Night Live. But it's been eight years since Avatar came out - which makes the randomly timed Saturday Night Live Papyrus sketch even more gut-busting. The Papyrus font has long been the subject of hatred for anyone with a passion for graphic design, and the fact that it was the face of the highest-grossing blockbuster in the world is nigh unfathomable.
