Hello there

I've got the font that I believe the rallye sport logo uses (clone of Helonia Neue) but does anyone know how I'd go about getting a better match? For example the 'Ford' and 'Sport' letters are a little thick and the 'Rallye' letters aren't think enough,even in bold, when compared to the Ford version.





Is the above font the best match I can hope for?

Thanks,
lee

The one i have, in photoshop has loads of different variations.

I use 43 & 63 i think, Ill look when im home.

Hows that?

Ford and Sport are Arial and Rallye is Arial Black.

adjust the tracking, kerning, and leading

oh and depends what they used to create it originally, to what other options they have used.

its rare, to be as simple as just using the right font

True, my mate works for Bemrose Booth in Derby, and he says that so many clients pick an existing font, then ask em to adjust it by such a tiny amount each letter (Obviously in a font maker or other such vector manipulator), as a means of copy protection on their artistic licence.

Just knocked this up, Its pretty much identical. I used the '5' setting in photoshop for the spacing behind characters allthough this didnt make much difference..

Thanks for the replies. Should have known it wouldn't be as simple as using one font with regular and bold settings,although they all look good enough for me What's all this light extended stuff - whereabouts is this in photoshop?

Much appreciated,
lee

Select the font, Then the bits im on about are in the next drop down menu along.

Close! Not quite bold enough though.

43 is correct but if you use 73 (bold extended) then it'll be spot on.

Like this...

Thanks, I did think one must be a perfect match but didnt want to go through them all. I might have to change my car site logo now!

i haven't got this any of the helvetica fonts on my pc

anyone know where i can get em???

[FezzR]

the big graphics stuff like corel/adobe/macromedia usually have them on the cd,

or do a search on google, lots of placed to download em

[~Tony~]

my photoshop 6 didn't come with em

and have only found places to download that want something silly like £415 for the font set.

[AdrianFRST]

If you have a paint or graphics prog then you'll probably have a clone of Helvetica but not the Linotype original, which are expensive to licence.

A couple of clones I can think of are Bitstream's Zurich and Swiss 721.

or font? for it?
