Mercian gothic font

i want to do a faux merican logo with my name as i love that classic gothic font. it would suit my old bike.

anyone got any idea what font that could be, or somthing very similar?

doesn't exist fella, you're going to have to hand draw it like wot I did for Teenslain…

yeah ive already kind of given up and started drawing my own. the tuscan font is kind of close but doesnt have the curlique of the mercian font.

with that said time on font websites has tempted me to use other things instead.

Another option is have a word with a calligrapher, who might be able to 'write' it for you, (then scan it in print it on a transfer thingy wotsit) if you show them the original logo, not sure how to track one down have a look in wedding magazines or websites, they do hand written invites and stuff.

what did you want written in the mercian font melon?

photoshop!

Indesign!

nah, illustrator eps FTW if ya wants to scale it up and down and it's what most transfer makers or vinyl cutters would expect to be supplied with

my surname: waterman

busy for a couple of days but I'll do it on the weekend for you as an illustrator eps so you can change the colours to suit

// Herbie Hancock ref with the forum name? //

ah nice one, i do all my graphics in flash so it should transfer over fine.

alas no, my name minus the bullshit is waterman, which at school became watermelon, and then melon.
