The “Crazy Ones” quote used in a few different places around Apple, including some icon Easter eggs and the famous commercials, has been turned into a typeface posted by Los Angeles advertising firm TBWA/Chiat/Day in order to raise funds for charity. You can see and buy the poster over at the aptly named crazyonesquote.com; It’s available unframed for $95, and with a frame around it for $100 more.
The quote is labeled with Steve Jobs’ name at the bottom, and while it’s definitely been used a lot lately to represent Jobs’ life and what he stood for, all we really have in terms of credit is a general sense that Jobs helped put most of it together for defining Apple’s brand. Still, it fits, and Chiat/Day’s design on this poster looks great.
All proceeds from the sale will go to the Acumen Fund, a nonprofit that helps by investing in great social enterprises and ideas around the world. Because, you know, the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world … are the ones who do.
