The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

 Post subject: Fonts Needed. Attention Graphics Guys!
PostPosted: Sat Mar 03, 2007 5:22 am 
Any of the graphics guys know the fonts (or similar)

For: WEYLAND YUTANI CORP

"Building Better Worlds"

+ Marine Dog Tags

I'm making a special plate for my GE light and would like to
replace the GE logo with a WY and slogan.

I'm a product guy, so my font knowledge sucks.

Thanks!

Weyland-Yutani Corp is Eurostile (also known as Square 721, Eurose, Microbus, etc etc) Bold Extended.

Dog tags
are a mixture of Helvetica and Helvetica Condensed. (Not Arial - many people think they're the same, but they're not.)

Building Better Worlds - this has been discussed before and nobody's ever found it (that we know of). My personal opinion is that it was drawn specially; it looks a bit odd. I don't even know of a font that looks close... but then I work with fonts so I'm picky. ;) You may well find something along the same lines which look good enough for your purposes. Good luck! :)

Thanks Mike!

Now, I need to find those Fonts, but not costing me
an arm + two legs!

Thanks A BUNCH!

Here's my first wack at the logo.

What do you guys think?

Being a Product guy, I'm not in tune with all the font
details, so LMK what you think.

Looks good.

I created this "building Better Worlds" font a couple of years ago. If you like it (or some of it) better, then feel free to use it. I see the "e" is different than on mine.

Mine looks like this:

Simpler than that: rank and name Helvetica, serial number Helvetica Condensed. :)

Sorry to bring up this thread again.

My girlfriend is getting her company event pass tags cut on
1/16 clear acrylic, so I thought,,, why not piggyback
my dog tags that I've been meaning to do.

Please don't ask me to make any of these, there is
a member who already does them.

What do you guys think?
