Hi,
rcompart -may I suggest an alternative J? The font is fairly cursive, and the very angular J looks at odds with the other curved letters - G and U for example.

I've tweaked the J a bit, using the bottom of the G - which I think fits in better with the typeface.

Here's my effort for you to consider:


You’ll find that some logotypes are done using either tweaked existing fonts (The FedEx logo for example is a tweaked Futura Bold so you get the arrow between the E and the x). It may have been designed purely for the name/product, so only the letters seen ever exist. I emailed the BBC for the name of the font used in some graphic work in Dr Who. I was told that it was created in house by one of their designers and so it not available.

 

Looks good. I had trouble with that letter too but went with the way I have it for a few reasons, the biggest being from a distance, the one you made like mine that was rounded(and by the way, I too tried using the G and U before I posted these) looks out of place and is hard to recognize.

As far as where it is now, that is where we are keeping it for all of our branding.

 

RCOMPART,

Did you ever finish making a real font out of this? Love the look of the letters you posted..

Thanks!

Doug

 

I have it somewhere but between 4 computers and not having it named something easily recognizable, which I might add that I'm a complete helmet for not naming it crossfire font or something similar to that, I haven't been able to find it. I'll take some time next week and track it down but I can't use the search function on my computer for it because I can't remember what I named it.

 

Ha! You sound as organized as I am...

Thanks in advance for tracking this down. I'm looking forward to a few home grown projects that I'll share with the group upon successful completion!

 

My life is an organized mess! I know where it is, just not "where it is" LOL

BTW, how are you liking the new ride?

 

Loving It!

I work from home so I'm looking for excuses to go out and drive. For instance I needed a few things at the store so I went the LONG WAY there! :-)

Have been an admirer since they came out but never imagined that they would be SO MUCH FUN!

 

Hey RCOMPART...

You ever find that font?

Thanks

Doug

 

I've been very busy and haven't had the time to really sit down and search hard for it. I promise I will find it but between the quick touch top controller and a lot of stuff at work, I'm swamped right now.

 

Dude,

Hadn't made the connection that you were doing the 1 touch top switch...

Carry On...

 

Hey,
here is a Crossfire font build by my self.
Download the txt file and rename to crossfire.zip.

Have fun

Greetings From Germany

 

Awesome, and it looks great too!! Thanks for this!

 

Thanks - it's great
Now to figure out where to use it

 

Hi Emaxx, thx for the font! Great job!!!

regards V8 Max

 

Thanks Emaxx

 

Ok, I feel stupid. I tried downloading the .txt file and renaming it but nothing is working. What am I doing wrong? Any ideas?

Any help very much appreciated~!

 

Click on the file name and a dialog box should open with options to OPEN or SAVE.
Click SAVE and when the next box opens the file name "crossfire.txt" will appear along with the location you will be saving it to.
Replace the "txt" with "zip". Click SAVE.
You may now be asked if you want to OPEN the file. Click YES.
If you have an un-zip program it will open the file and you will have the option to INSTALL the font.
Do it!

 

Followed these instructions to the letter but it says a file is password protected.

 

180, you have email......

 

Thanks, guy- much appreciated!
