Sony just posted their new sales of the week today using an italicized version of the Sunset Overdrive font in a different colour.

What kind of message do you feel they are trying to infer?

They are flaming Sunset Overdrive before its release by saying it's dead on arrival and will go into the sale bin soon.

It's an homage :)

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

lol.. that Sony should give some money to their graphic designers so that they don't need to go to dafont.com and find free fonts..
