    This font goes back to 1929.
    Well isn't that interesting! I stand corrected.

      I just wish someone would tell me what font to use to make my new logo. How hard could it be?

        My point here was:

        It is a Futura font

        The font only gets you so far as the screen process accounts for a great deal of the final appearance.

        If you don't care about the final appearance being 100% accurate, then just about any Futura font will do.

        If you DO care about the final appearance, are using a printer, then you want to make art from a real logo with all the distortions imparted from the screen making process. If you logo is supposed to look like that old logo and say something else, then you can either have them screened, or if you have to print, you have to fake the effects of the screen making distortions on your art. Again, what you start with is less important as the art you add to it.

          Depends on what you want your logo to look like. And logos are not always font based. or are altered (like my SGD logo which was designed by Ron Cardazone).

          Choosing fonts takes time. I have hundreds of fonts on my Mac (but apparently not Futura Black BT!), and it takes a while to look though them, or a font book, until I find something that I like for a project.

                  Does the Font you use, make them sound better?
                  Is there a vintage and a modern sounding Font?
                  I'm looking for the Joe Walsh Font!

                    I like Comic Sans myself

                    But seriously..this was all about figuring out the whats and whys here. Much of what we talk about here is reverse engineering classic pickups. Since a great portion of the topics here revolve around PAF's, this seemed like a good topic to share.
