Uh huh. Its time for America's unique obsession: the Super Bowl! This time of year always reminds us of Thirstype's Orbit typeface design for Fireorb in 2003 and its continued use in the identity for the Super Bowl. Doesn't it just make you want to open up a beer, stuff your face full of chip dip, sit on the couch, and let it all hang out?

Below is Orbit in its original setting: as the identity for the FIREORB, created by the late architect Doug Garafalo.

Super Bowl XLVIII airs Sunday, February 2, 5:30 PM on FOX. Check your local listings.
