Empire Stike Back yoke insert
« on: December 13, 2004, 09:13:05 am »
the Empire Stike Back yoke insert was added at the AAL ealier, I have traced the insert, ut I don't know wich font is used for the text part.
if you have the rigth font, please feel free to grab the "font innacurate" vector insert I have put here http://edeveaud.free.fr/tmp/empire_strike_back_insert2.ai, hack it and up-it to the AAL in it's full glory ;)

note, he current text is on arial-black. 
 
I'm on the planning stage

It looks like something like Arial Rounded Bold, but that could just be the blurriness of the JPEG making the characters appear rounded.

For future reference for identifying fonts, you could check out these:

http://www.whatthefont.com - identifies fonts automatically from a scan, but only useful if you've got a halfway decent source for it to work from

http://www.identifont.com - identifies fonts by asking you multiple choice questions about it (you can restrict it to just ask about the characters you have a sample of) - it's more likely to give you a halfway decent answer than whatthefont when you're working from a blurry lo-res scan, since a human is a better judge of when to say 'that character is too illegible to answer that question' and skip over it. It's a more laborious process though...
