If you look at this list of famous geminis, you notice that there are a lot of actors among them. That’s great, but it don’t really connects with me. Where is that list of geminis who became famous by their design and aesthetic? There is none. So i thought, let’s build it. Leave your comment and add your favorite, if you got one.

I just found out, that the Djingis Khan of typography, Erik Spiekermann, is indeed a gemini as well! Now that should be worth something, and it is the most possible good start for such a list i can imagine.

    Gemini means that we are really two people. In my case it means that i am both terribly meticulous and messy. I am always on time, but sometimes a year late.

    BTW: it’s May 30th.

    I don’t know so much about Gemini, but I’ve always thought that Spiekermann is half British, half German. There’s definitely something very German in his work, and something very British about his humour.

    BTW, I’m Pisces, so I have no idea what the date is.

    Oah, poor John lost his birthday! C’mon boys, give Johnny his birthday back!

    Oh i know the dates when one could be crowned a s gemini, but i’m sure Erik just ment his own birthdate. Or is Pisces commonly known as the zodiac sign which is terrible with dates and numbers?

    ;)

    Pisces are supposed to be dreamers (daydreamers).
    A quick telephone call to my mother, and now I know my birthday once more. I’ve written it down now.

    Noice! How comes i am not surprised? Well, congratulations my now even bigger friend! ;)

    Seriously goOve, i always considered you a mate because we share friendship with Bram, but gemini bounds act like a seal of additional approval. But i gotta say, just to show that i am still more sane than insane: It is not an ultimate approval for sure, there are black sheeps in every group. Like there are gay dudes who actually dress fucking awful — but it’s a good thumb rule.
