    sorry folks, twice in as many days !

    i’m currently re-drawing this one the hard way, i’m getting thru it but really wwould prefer the proper font, i spent ages looking for it before setting out on my tedious task, customer has wanted mod’s and changes in the original sign, which was ok as it looks like custome lettering in the first place, but this one !

    any ideas please ? would like to get this job nailed today !

    thanks

    what can i say guys ? but thank you both ! Adrian, that ai was great, just a little squashing, some cutting and welding around the R to match the original, and it was done,

    I doint know which of you is correct, but the fonts looks identicle to my untrained eye ! i think the original sign had some serious kerning and squishing/stretching to get it where it is !

    many thanks again.

    btw, dont suppose anyone has a vector of the old red/blue/white datsun logo do they ? sorry 😳 the cheek of my today !

    Hugh, I realize that the original cosmos is like this, but i think the O’s should be taller. All Curved letters are slightly taller than the blocks…
    Unless this is on purpose for some reason, it stands out to me.

    funny you mention that, i had noticed it but didnt give it much thought, i think ther’s only about 8mm in it, but it looks alot more for some reason, really all i’m doing is changing it to a K from a C, making 2 sign boards up and literally changing the c to k on the lorry decals, i said i’d rather re-do the whole sign on the truck, but you can guess the answer ! i wasnt about to turn down the signboards so i said i’d do it !
