On my way to India with my fiancé, now wife and (that’s entirely different story that I will go into in a later blog posting) I had the opportunity to see "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps on the in-flight entertainment. To my pleasant surprise, Aviano Slab was used numerous times in the movie for the logotype of the fictional company "Churchill Schwartz." The font also features prominently in the trailer emblazoned on the side of a helicopter. The helicopter also uses the Aviano Eagle for the logo of this fictional evil company. I put a few screencaps of the trailer below. I enjoyed this movie, and give it 3.5 stars. Wall Street: Money Never Sleep Synopsis
