BFM font?

#1 Post by J_Dunavin »

Ok random question...
Does anyone happen to know what font, the BF logo at the end of the plans are in? Looks the same as the header of the web page as well.
Thanks

Bruce, your Texan accent is making it sound like there's an extra d in the Sans :D

Eric Gill who made this font is a right dodgy fella though... seriously... look it up. Woof!

In memory of Eric Gill, who stuck his D in wherever he could

All this talk about font made me want to re-create Bill's name plate image while I was creating my own:
GPA-Name-Plate.png
.

Here is Bill's in .png format:
BF-Name-Plate.png
I'm sending the vector art to Bill as well so that he might use/link in the plan documents if he so chooses.

Thought these were cool too:
BF-Name-Plate-1a.png
BF-Name-Plate-1.png
The white areas being exposed metal of course ;)

I'll have the capability to produce these on nice .20 aluminum plates soon, laser etched with screw holes, and might get with Leland @ Speaker Hardware to distribute.

Will keep everyone posted.

Cheers!
