Google Maps Typography

Earlier I commented that I liked the idea that a designer can use existing designs/elements as the basis of their work. I came across an image of the letters A-Z designed by Rhett Dashwood, who used satellite images of landforms or buildings from google maps to create the letters of the alphabet. See images below. This ties together the idea of lookout points and designers using existing elements as the basis of their work.
