Hey Guys and Gals. Does anyone know what font this is. http://www.maaco.com/ The words "AMERICA'S BODYSHOP". It has the Eurostyle or Square look to it but not quite the same. It may have been tweeked by an artist along the way. If you know where I might find or buy the font, let me know.Thanks for the help in advance.

It looks like an altered version of Crille Italic. I think you could start there and fiddle with it to make it right.

Good Luck...

Hi Rob. This looks a bit like Bank Gothic, but not entirely. I've sent you an e-mail with the text AMERICA'S BODYSHOP that you can use as a starting point if you need to "tweek" something. It's in .eps format, if that's useable...if not e-mail me what sort of file that you're working with.

Hope this helps you out.

Rob Check your Email, I just finished a Job for these guys today, talk about timing!

I guess I should have read your question a little closer, America's Body shop is something like Black Jack but like Ken said with some tweaking.

Thanks for the help so far. A local race track has a rescue truck that is being sponsored by Maaco. They gave me a PPT file which I can't open. I have a paper copy of the logo which I scanned and cleaned up. the only thing I need now is these words. The scan was not clean enough to even give me a good starting spot to clean them. Thought maybe I could find the font and buy it. It looks like something I would use again. I'll keep plugging away. WHY DOESN'T ANYONE HAVE THEIR LOGOS AS EPS FILES TO HAND OUT TO SIGN SHOPS. Wait til they get the bill!!!!

Zygo?

Go to google ane type "zygo ttf" in the search box.

Zygo is another close on but not a dead nuts match. The S,M,E & B are not the same. Thanks though. I may have to take some more time and clean it up or modify something you all came up with.
