Answers.Text: Nice, but I'm sure that it was two pieces each letter, using a slope and a 1x1 brick.  I'll look through the rest of the archive just in case there is something else that fits.

Answers.Text: Thinking it through, it would have been sometime around the Futuron era, late eighties.  I've checked on bricklink and the sets look right for what I remember from the magazine promotions.

Body: <p>Somwtime maybe in the early eighties, I read a Bricks and Pieces magazine with a small panel showing the brick alphabet code and it would be great to have a picture of this if someone has it.</p>
  
  <p>This code used an apparently random brick construction for each letter of the alphabet, and it would be fun to write messages into MOCs using the code, or to see if anyone else has already done it. </p>
