Original recipie

This page started back as early as January 2008, as you can see by checking the dates on the archives. Later that year, another website with the same name started up. I think it's cool that there are other sites doing the same thing that I am. And I doubt that they knew my page existed. So, just to put the record straight, I checked their domain's WHOIS data, and it was created on July 2008. So... I can rightfully claim that this is The Original Papyrus Watch! :-D

Fishes of Georgia

From Hogchokers to Rosyface Chubs, this site has it all. As long as all you're looking for is fish in Georgia. You may have a watershed moment when you read this page.

This logo is crawling with Photoshop effects. Let's see, we've got a Drop Shadow, nothing new. But, check out that Inner Bevel! That may be a first for this site. But it doesn't end there, it's also kicking the Outer Glow! I don't know if you can fit any more effects onto that text.



Thanks for the submission!

Overall rating: A (for Acipenser oxyrinchus desotoi)

Little Black Dress Boutique

Here's one that was found in England! The sighting was made in Stow-on-the-Wold, which is described as "a quant little town in the Cotswalds." Even on vacation, there's no escape from the Papyrus!

Thai Restaurant

This submission was found in a Thai restaurant in Lake Tahoe, CA. Do they think Papyrus makes the sign look more authentically Thai? I've been to Thailand, and not once did I see Papyrus anywhere. This sign is a pretty nice example of italicized Papyrus. It's also a pretty bad example of proper leading. Look at the line spacing on that thing! They certainly aren't leading the way with that line spacing!
Thanks for the submission!

FROG TAPE

I've got to stick it to these guys for using Papyrus on their tape.

Overall Rating: C (for Clean Crisp Edges)

RIVERCUT

That fish is jumping right out of this typeface, after swimming in a river made of Papyrus. It almost looks like the fish is made of Papyrus. At first I thought that the fish is caught on a line, but then decided it could be some sort of fish/chameleon hybrid waving around its tongue. Those folks at Rivercut could be just that wacky.

Thanks for the submission!

Lay, lady, lay. Lay down on this big "Faux-pyrus" sighting. (Sorry, dumb joke) Check out how these guys added a thin white line inside each letter for an extra decorative touch. And to top it off, they felt the need to use bullets in between each letter. Nice try, but even that won't save this blatant use of Parchment.
Thanks for the submission!
