Talk:Omni (magazine)

message: I clearly remember Peter Ustinov as the host of the TV show, not Hal Linden.
Of course, my local tv station might have skipped shows where the latter appears.
Instead of claiming both were hosts (as I do not know for sure), I thought it would be better to post this matter here for discussion. SanGatiche 15:36, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I think that the passage "OMNI entered the market at the start of a wave of new science magazines aimed at educated but otherwise "non-professional" readers. Science Digest and Science News already served the high-school market, and Scientific American and New Scientist the professional, while OMNI was arguably the first aimed at "armchair scientists" who were nevertheless well informed about technical issues" suggests (falsely) that Scientific American was started around the same time as the other magazines mentioned. Scientific American began publication in the nineteenth century, or early twentieth century. - CEC  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.221.31.204 (talk) 23:24, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Is it just me, or did Omni go for faces nearly every time on its covers around the same time it leaned more towards paranormal reporting? And if so, whose brainchild was that? Was that some sort of marketing angle to hopefully snag mainstream customers used to buying fashion mags??  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.68.70.186 (talk) 23:14, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

message: While checking up on the notability of Dick Teresi, I noticed a few blurbs about him being a co-founder of Omni.  I don't know how useful or valid that information is, though TStein (talk) 03:20, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Dick Teresi cofounder?

message: Appears to be premature to describe Mr. Frommer's current plans as a "relaunch" so I've removed that phrase from the lede and expanded the "Reboot" section very slightly. It sounds as though he plans to issue the rediscovered materials as some form of collectable, and there will be a corresponding "online project". I'm no different to most people reading this page: I'd like to see a relaunch of Omni, but this doesn't - yet - sound like one and so shouldn't - yet - be described as one by Wikipedia.

thread_title: Reboot

message: Does anybody know what the font is that was used for the title on the front cover? The same one was used on COMPUTE! magazine circa 1991. Both magazines had the same designer, Jo Boykin. Mattsephton (talk) 12:22, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I was trying to figure that out myself, . Looks like the typeface design house You Work For Them adapted it for some work they did for MTV, and it's now available for sale as a family of typefaces under the name YWFT Blessed. Centriciti (talk) 00:45, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks, I'll check it out! (edit: checked it out, close but no cigar — the corner radius is way too big on Blessed) Apologies for late reply; for some reason I only just had a notification about this (also a notification for my talk page on another wiki site from 5 years(!) ago) Mattsephton (talk) 22:34, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: Title/Logo Font?

message: A link has been added as the official website. Given the long hiatus of the magazine and website, I would like to see information on the connection of this reincarnation to the old magazine (the linked website is of little help). - Donald Albury 18:56, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
