  • Need some help identifying this font please?

    Posted by Robert Lambie on 3 November 2006 at 18:41

    Hi folks…

    im after a bit of help on this one as it is now driving me nuts! :lol1:

    i need help identifying the following font. andrew has managed to find some "very" close alternatives but they arent 100%. he recons the font has been altered but ide really like to know for sure as ive seen it a few times in various places now, so i am thinking different.

    any help in identifying this would be greatly appreciated… 😀

    please note, we have tried "what the font" close, but not close enough….

    Rob,

    I’d be inclined to agree with Andrew. The way pop stars are branded and marketed these days it wouldn’t surprise me in the least to know that a design house had taken a font and messed with it to make a logo.

    when presented with the alternatives andrew did today i would normally agree, but… as i said mate… ive seen this font used in several unconnected places recently. 😕
    from what we have discovered so far its not going to be a cheap font to purchase as a family but it should be worth it.

    i hope 😕

    thanks for trying also nick…
    a very close alternative would be good, the ones i have although very close are either narrower, thinner etc ide be happy with similar thickness and breadth of letters, i could then bastardise it to suit my need.
    the logo i will create using it is pretty simply but ide like the font for ongoing work.. hence my problem. its just personal project I’m working on at the moment… (cant say much at this stage 😉 :lol1: )
