Glyph Cue
For centuries, nerds have perpetuated their own stereotypes,
impatiently explaining how they modchipped your Sega Saturn,
translating hilarious puns into Klingon, and aerodynamically
designing javelins to jive with Lamar's unique limp-wristed
throwing style. Turning all four of their eyes to the
street(wear), Glyph Cue.
From a geekily obsessed typography buff and graphic designer
in the hood mecca that is Portland, ME, Glyph Cue
(representing "a silent dialogue btw the eyes and the mind")
is a line of streetwear tees drawing from the "rich history
of graphic syntax" along w/ sacred geometry, symmetry, and
other college math terms, which their site describes in a
Mean Girls Mathlete Kevin Gnapoor-styled mashup of 90s
street slang, rapper shout-outs, and zealous dorkese. Some
highlights:
Big Bang: On this black tee w/ hundreds of royal/cyan
circles within circles, they say: "We spent countless hours
prototyping this revolutionary new technology. For the first
time ever, tee graphic animation (*Kidding). Stare at the
center and watch the perimeter begin to cycle. Can't stop.
Won't stop". Please stop.
Fulcrum Sway: This white number w/ black, blue, & white
yin-yangs creatively invokes the thoughtful "YinYangYO!" --
interestingly, also the name of Diddy's new, heavily branded
religion.
Space Station: For the astronomy fans in da house, GC speaks
on this black tee w/ white/blue star constellations,
pointing out that "this shirt bangs in low light
scenarios!", but once under full illumination, it dives
under its Star Wars bedspread.
Going forward, Glyph plans on more bold graphic apparel
offerings, each designed to celebrate a "dedicated color
palette" (this season's "Blue"), with next Fall/Winter
listed as "___", funnily enough, also the exact response to
their growly gibberish puns.
They also make reference to hip hop superstar Lil Wayne! Get
