Our post about Helvetica: The Movie has touched off a fascinating debate between Digital Design mentors Dougal Muir and Mark Busse in the comments. Mr. Busse also happens to be the President of the BC Chapter of the Society of Graphic Designers of Canada, which put on the Vancouver Helvetica screening. Mr. Muir, meanwhile, calls the movie “one of the most dangerous pieces of propaganda that has happened to typographic design in years.”

The post-screening panel that Mark alludes to in his comment was moderated by Digital Design print design instructor Robin Mitchell, and you can read her roundup of the event here.

Edit: Now with rebuttal with Helvetica director Gary Hustwit!
