 Re: What is the font for the D*lly stickers?
i think i read somewhere recently that they had their own fonts - forged, fabricated or whatever it is you do to create a font

 Re: What is the font for the D*lly stickers?
I suspect Sean is correct, Nibby; manufacturers will usually design their own individual 'fonts' for their badges and logos. I'd be surprised if you couldn't get a pretty close match from existing fonts, tho', close enough to not matter. If any letters aren't an exact match, you could always replace them with a '*'...

 Re: What is the font for the D*lly stickers?
Hi Jameswallace - The guy uses a Mimaki Plotter and adobe illustrator I don't know much about it to be honest I see D*lly signs available on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2CV-Dolly-Graphic ... 500wt_1156£7.00 for a bit of vinyl - It must be as easy as editing a font I want the original font if possible (seems not possible) The decals are available through citroen suppliers and obviously from ebayer above BUT only available in traditional colors. If original font is not available freely - It will have to be drawn on a package like paint shop etc and cut out - Do-able but very long winded especially if I wanted to edit it to "GOOD GOLLY MISS MOLLY" etc LOL

 Re: What is the font for the D*lly stickers?
ask yer mate what format he wants it in, copy and paste the D*lly sign in ebay, stick it in a memory card in the format your mate wants and give it to your mate
don't see why this should be difficult to achieve they have all sorts of weird crap for the sides of vans a few letters cant be that taxing.
