Hey everybody! Most of you have seen my thread for FREE signature banners, and hav already put requests in. Since I'm laying here on convalescent leave awaiting surgery--I'M BORED! If any of you, and I'm sure there are a few, want any Photoshop work done--shoot me a PM or reply to this thread. What I'll need from you: 1. What you want 2. Any pics or graphics you already have 3. How soon you need it Keep in mind that the more elements involved and how detailed you want it will determine how fast I can get them done. Reaper has already let me know he's got a bunch of stuff he'd like done, but I'll be more than happy to squeeze other stuff in for anyone. Here's a very simple sample--just a quick cut and paste onto a background--I can get much more in-depth:  |

You wouldn't happen to have this font would you? No, but I can look and see if I have one similar. You've got to remember--there were not "fonts" back in 1978, and everything was dreamed up and then drawn out. I may have something, though--I'll report back with results. If I don't have anything, just tell me what it is you need with that font, and I might be able to help. |

This font is called "Stop" and was published in 1971.
Fonts have been around for a long time. Back in this time period, they were available as dry transfers in various pitch sizes. Some of the more popular ones were available as die cut self stick vinyl lettering.

Your welcome.
This font was used a couple of other places too. On the side of Starbuck'sViper in The Long Patrol, the "STARCHASER" for one.

ROFLS!!!! Got my new 'location' now! Thanks to Spectre. @chris: Ah yes! Lectraset! How well I remember it, think I may still have a few sheets of the stuff laying around somewhere too. Reaper & Spectre: I was thinking of working up some sort of 'screen' for my Transponder, non cannon I know, but I'd like something more visually appealing than just a white square. On that score anyone know what font the Tektronix 4051 used as well? |
