Where to get Atari font?
« on: June 01, 2003, 07:26:22 am »
I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can get the font used in the atari logo used on the side of old school cabs (photo of pole position):

and the 2600 games (photo 2 of dig dug 2600 manual cover):

I've looked at a bunch free-fonts sites, but haven't found it there.  Also, I read that the Atari Arcade Classics CD has a couple fonts, but I haven't seen any examples of what they look like; could one of them be the font I'm looking for?

Thanks!

Thanks a lot, Frostillicus! Perfect. :)

Also, thanks skirge66 for the link.  I should have guessed oscarcontrols.com would have a lot of fonts.  (Thanks kelsey.)

It has come to my attention that people are sharing my copyrighted trademarked patented hydramatic electrostatic super-93-octane boost atari fonts on this message board.  If you do not desist this act immediately, winged leprechauns will tear your genitals off and do a little dance on them then pop them in your mouth and make you swallow them (dirty footprints and all).


Thank you, and may you rot in the depths of burning atari hell...

Lincensed = Licensed and incensed

Was that intentional?

Well, i'll try to call the leprechauns back, but in the meantime just make sure to wear extra thick pants.
