FRINGE: Blogs react to trailer

The premiere of FRINGE on Fox may still be months away, but the moviesque trailer for the show has many a blogger intrigued by what we see…and what we don’t see. Below find some links to some of the more prolific bloggers on the interwebs and read their takes on all the hulabaloo:

Nikki Stafford’s Blog - “Fall TV Preview: Fringe”
FringeTV Blog - “Will Fringe Come With A Viral Element?”
TV Envy - “Trailer for new FOX series Fringe”
Rope of Silicon - “JJ Abrams ‘Fringe’ Trailer - Viral Sites Forthcoming”

So far, the trailer seems to have done it’s job - hooked those who are already obsessed with everything JJ/Bad Robot (*coughMEcough*) and enticed those who aren’t so sure to at least give it a shot. I have ONE beef with the show - which has nothing to do with the show itself, really. I HATE the lettering they have used for FRINGE on the posters and promos. It just looks wrong - if they were intending it to look sort of 3D…then they did it wrong. If it is meant to look off kilter and slapped together…well then I guess they did it right. What do you think?

Considering what a massive fontaholic JJ is, I’m just surprised that they couldn’t come up with a better font style. Oh well, what the hell do I know? ;)

    I’m going to have to agree with you on the font/photoshop action of the posters. It’s not “bad”, but it could be lots better, and it seems generic where you’d expect it to be completely original. For what it’s worth, I still like yours* best.

    Fringe should get a pretty big boost after last night, since they ran the trailer for it during American Idol. (YES, I also watched the Lost enhanced episodes!)

    The only thing I can see with the font is that the IN is very pronounced and it doesn’t have any depth.
    See now you have me looking at this stuff.
    sigh.

    I wonder what happened to the “dropped G” logo you posted earlier:
