Does anyone know wich font Lord Affie used in the CLOWN logo (top page one)? I thought it was Showcard gothic, but it isnt. I know asking Lord Affie wont yield a satisfying answer, so I havent Very Happy

Yeah I was interested in finding out as without knowing it, I had to start editing the old site's logo which wasn't ideal.

www.blambot.com/ has some nice fonts.

I tried using WhatTheFont but didnt yield any good results, maybe if someone has a better image of the font or edits the image to make the letters stand out better that could work.

If it cant be identified dosent seem like to huge a loss to me either, just whip up something new that's nice and stylish as well. Smile

I'll search in a few old projects of mine. Might have used it myself somewhere. Its so darn familiar but I cant nail it down..

The search continues..

That's brilliant Gloom!

I'm cool with swapping the graphics on the site.

Edit: Not so sure about the Crazy Lunatics subtext though - seems a bit dark compared with the CLOWN bit maybe. Can we have a colour fade thing on those letters too?

Sure, I'll make some versions of it.

ps. The reason I made the subtext black was because the text wasnt readable if resized when colored the same way.

Looks pretty cool. The logo is very airy and refreshing Very Happy

Ah I know what you mean about the colour thing and readability.

How about one colour with a border as another colour?

I just think the subscript looks a bit *too* different to the CLOWN bit. I like the current logo's similarity. Love the little hat though and the font for CLOWN is perfect Smile

(just my opinions, I think you've done a great job)
