    unfortunately it seems to be brushscript CAPS 👿 and something like helvetica, swiss etc.

    I’d be saying to the customer its very hard to read , and offer a change….

    i know this isn’t always possible , but i have been amazed in the past how i thought they would want to stick , but when offered something better they like it……

    but this isn’t always the case…

    as for the font :

    Brush-script BT for the top man bit

    &

    the bottom , not sure , just been through all 3000 font here , and stuff very similar but without the extra globs , that’s presuming the globs are there and not a bad res file…….

    thanks guys looks like the top bit is the same as the middle but has been twisted am i right and i think the blobs at the bottom are just clumps of thread good idea to change font as i had trouble reading it i will redo with brush script but straighten it up see how it looks
    in your opinion what would be a suitable font for this the size overall is
    3 inch dia
    he also wants name tags for the back 1.5 inch x 6 inch

    (Also I require one each of the following… Space on back of helmet is 1.5 inches by 6 inches long standard font so it can be read from a distance…..)
    thanks for your help

    hi again have had to match the original as they are to replace some that were damaged used brush script and ariel for the badge and impact for the name tags had a problem with the services text it was overlapping
    only noticed it when checked in wireframe view had to space out lettering
    cant understand why it only did it on the word services
    thanks again

    not sure what your using for the design….(wire-frame makes me think corel)

    But if you did the curved bit first , then transitioned this to straight text , maybe the space got messed up there……(as it would be adjusted automatically to make the curve)

    i know in corel , I’m always better off using “clear transformations” rather than trying to straiten it myself….

    but sounds like you have it sorted now…..
