What do you think is the current perception of Helvetica?
Where do you see Helvetica going in the future?
Do you think people perceive Helvetica differently in Eastern countries opposed to
Western countries?
Do you think Helvetica will go out of ‘fashion’ like it did in the 70/80s?
Do you agree with the claim that Paula Scher made? ‘Helvetica is the voice of the Vietnam War’ Does a typefaces past uses determine its future perceptions?
Can a typeface ever be as neutral as when it was first created?

After further research I have decided that my initial title
“Typeface Styles, Trends and Perceptions since 1960″
is too broad. I am going to focus my research project alot more onto 1 typeface. At this moment I am thinking of looking at how peoples perceptions of Helvetica have changed since its creation in 1957, including styles and trends.
Is Helvetica too famous to do a research project on?
