Name that font!
« on: September 24, 2013, 01:11:32 pm »
I'm trying (and so far, failing) to find this font. It was used for my website & for my cab's marquee, but I had somebody make up my logo over a decade ago & can't find info on the font used. I want to update my front end & bezel with text that matches the marquee.

Help!

Call it a strange hobby, or fascination, but I've been an avid font collector for quite a few years now.  :cheers:

Not to completely sidetrack this thread, but what tools do you use to manage your collection? I've got a touch of the same compulsion  :cheers:

Believe it or not, it's also a pretty decent windows font management tool!  ;D

Pretty damn impressive.  Think you can name this one from the damaged "JACKPOT" insert?  Thanks!

It's from a Capcom "Breakshot" pinball if that helps.  Capcom might use similar fonts on other machines maybe?

Looks pretty close

http://www.dafont.com/bebas-neue.font?text=JACKPOT

C is not quite right though

Maybe this in bold and condensed a bit

It's like a cross between that second one and "impact"
