| | Posted : 04 Oct 2014 - 05:23 Post title : Thunderbird logo font | | | I've tried going through search, but can't find any previous posts on this.
Anyone have or know what the Thunderbird logo font is?
I don't want a copy of a decal, I'd like to import the font and mess with it a bit.
I mean this font/logo.
Thanks for the help.

The nearest 'Word' font looks to be 'magneto'.... but you'd have to do a bit of additional line work to get the extended top of the 'tee'.... and to adjust the bottom of it....

There has to be a downloadable font that was used for this.
The Magneto is close but not close enough that I'd want to put it on my bike, I don' t think.

I doubt if there's a perfect match......... Triumph graphics dept would have probably modified an existing or created a new font for business/patent reasons....
Best of luck

Ok, I guess I'll just have to cut and paste to do what I need to do. ;)
Thanks all for the help!
