Any ideas on where to find a Galaga Font?
« on: October 05, 2004, 09:17:27 pm »
I'm in the process of designing the artwork for my cab, which as I'm sure you've guessed by the topic title is based on Galaga.  Anyway, I've looked around and can't find a font that matches the Galaga font.  Does anyone know where to find it?  Stingray or Whammoed, how did you guys make your marquee in that style?  I've assumed you used a font you found, but you may have done it free-hand.

3dmacman did my graphics for me.(I only switched around some characters)  He made the vector galaga letters in illustrator...at least the letters not already in "Galaga"...so everything but the a's.  Don't really know how he did it, thats why I hired him.

I don't want the artwork, just the font.  I created my own Galaga inspired art.  I just want the lettering in the marquee to match.
