Side Script Font Type & Size

Hi Julian,
The letters are approx. 3 1/2" tall. I am not sure what color you are looking for, but I believe that I have a spare set in the Gray like you see in the photo.
Thanks,
Kevin

Well Julian,

That one stumps me. I looked through over two and a half thousand of my fonts and don't have a match. To me it looks like a customized version of Eurostile but the A and R are heavily modified. It shouldn't take me more than an hour or two to re-create it from a good dead-on side view photo if you can't find it.

Mark,

A big thanks just for taking the time to look through 2.5K fonts!!! That photo is about the best I have, although I do have the full side view, I'll check to see what resolution it is.

Kevin,

You have a PM.

Julian

Mark is the man! Pantera people are the best!

FWIW, I spent about an hour yesterday trying to help you out here using various websites/services that attempt to match an unknown font, but without success.

Kevin,

Where did these decals come from? Can Julian just order a set in the color he needs? If not, any chance you have a dead-on side view photo (you can e-mail it to me at: mark-at-markscars.ca) and an overall length of the decal to go along with the 3.5" height?

Garth: Thanks for validating how uncommon this font is. I was worried that someone would post a quick, obvious answer and make me look like the fool my friends know I am...

The following site has a pic of the registered Pantera logo. If someone knows this font please let me know. I'l be painting and would like to get a mask made.

Note that the "E" in the logo at this link is a lower-case letter rather than upper-case as in the decal photo above.

Good find Mark. That is a pretty good match but it is not exactly the same, even discounting the e. The n is also lower case. It is already in a state that any vinyl shop could use to prepare a mask for painting if you're happy with that version of the logotype. Just send the link to your sign shop and they will download the EPS file and cut your masks.

This is closer but still not perfect.

Mark,

That's getting pretty close, any chance you can stretch it a little in the vertical plane, so the letters are at least as high as they are wide?

Thanks,
JUlian

Hi Julian,

That would be easy to do but the details that look wrong are the rads on the corners and some of the stroke widths are off. The overall proportions are pretty close when I compare the the car ( I found I had taken an OK photo of the car at Laguna Seca in 2007). Maybe on the weekend I will have time to re-do it.

Mark

Julian,

Here it is. My best effort. I'll send you the EPS file for production.

Could you please send me your file for the logo.
Thanks Mark

Sure Mark. Where?

Thanks Mark

I looked at every sans serif font in the Monotype library...no dice. But your rebuild looks great.

This may be a stupid question, but how come you don't just buy the decals from Hall and stick them on? They are 100% factory original that they used on the Group 4 cars.

Because I'm painting black over orange and I want orange lettere.
Mark

Hey Mar,

I trust that you received the file I sent by e-mail. I hope it all works out and I look forward to seeing the results of yours and Julian's cars.

Mark

Mark,
I rec'd the file.
Thanks.
Mark
