Re: VIC 20 Logo font
WOW... WhatTheFont is a great web, I was using just the thing between the ears to find matching fonts... This will ease a lot my little secret FrankenVIC-20 project...
I don't use phpBB anymore, I've switched to Simple Machines long ago, so I don't remember exactly, but I'm sure any modern version of the forum software of choice can deal with PNG's.

I didn't test GIF transparency, since I have no control of the forum.
Jeff, in case you didn't notice, I added some proper size images in the last post on the previous page.

... and why can't the "i" in Denial go dotted-less?

Re: VIC 20 Logo font
Ok, I updated. Looks better, but I agree with rhurst. The I may be a bit more clear without the dot.

Re: VIC 20 Logo font
Did you have to use the GIF then?
(So I know what to give you next time.)

Re: VIC 20 Logo font
Thanks again. I used the intended GIF format. I didn't want to poke around in the actual code, so I'm just swapping the image files. This last one seems more readable to me, but there may be a bit of an edge on the VIC part. Can anyone see it?

Re: VIC 20 Logo font
I know how to fix it - the gif conversion didn't use the gray gradient as the background colour under the semitransparent parts of the image, so I'll need to stencil it myself.
I'll probably get to it tomorrow morning.
[EDIT] Updated the image in the previous post.

Can You perhaps do this in 149x52 pixel to for the new top logo?
Kind regards, Peter.

Re: VIC 20 Logo font
Commodore on older computers (before the Amiga) used Eurostile so Eurostile condensed bold would make sense.

Re: VIC 20 Logo font
One of my eBay VIC20s has no badge. I will get one printed, no issue.
With Eurostile® Std Condensed Bold I can see VC20 doesn't match (but is similar), but feel "commodore" does not match at all.
Update
Microgramma D Extended Bold matches better?
Does anyone know the correct font for VC20 ?

Re: VIC 20 Logo font
I know of 2 different VIC-20 logos.
The one on the computer itself, I use Eurostile extended bold to replicate.
But there is another one Commodore printed on the VICMODEM, Programmer's Aid and Sargon II manuals.

Re: VIC 20 Logo font
