Wanted to practice my vector-drawing skills. Not in love with the font, but was trying to quickly mock something to look like the MC HAMMER please don't hurt 'em CD font :)

Wow, I have NO clue why the color is off! Here's the photobucket link

  • Ok, I need food and then will try uploading again. Because the thumbnail on photobucket shows the color properly, but when clicking on it to see it larger, it's this weird color instead. :/

  • that looks SO cool!  I'm curious if you can upload it to zazzle (or whatever) at the end and then screen shot it so I can see how big it shows up and what it looks like on a tshirt?  you are awesome :D

    PS kudos for thinking of the CD font! 

  • Ok, I made the image a little bigger in Zazzle. (And I did the Zazzle from PDF, not from the jpeg on Photobucket. PDF is better quality but Photobucket doesn't support it.)

     Oh, and somehow I had accidentally removed you awhile back from FB when I was purging game friends, so I sent you a new F/R. If you find a better font you like, just let me know the link and I'll download it and replace it.

  • That looks cool!
    Would the blue background be printed on the shirt, or did you include it to represent a colored shirt?

    if you look a couple posts below I was asking if any design people could help me with something :)

  • Amanda -- looks like you've got what you were looking for.  You'll have to show us the final product!

    OMG that's awesome!  thank you!!

  • Did you approve my FB friend request yet? I can't figure out the crappie Nestie PM system. I'm too lazy to dig back and see if I have emails from you from 1.5-2ish years ago :) Then I can email you the image. And seriously, if you have a better font you'd like me to swap in, that's no big deal.

    I think I did approve your friend request - it was a couple days ago and I didn't recognize the name but saw the friends we had in common and was like "sure, why not" LOL (this was before you mentioned it on here I think)

    also, I forgot about the font, I'll look around and see if I find anything!

  • The shirt looks great!

  • man, searching for fonts is exhausting.  I got kind of addicted to it during wedding planning, but haven't had to try to match a font before!  From the ones I already have (and you might also) "Rockwell" has some of the same feel.  Any suggestions for search term?  I don't really know what kind of font it is (like the technical terms for different types of fonts). Otherwise I think that one is pretty close.

    ETA: ack! this is so cool! I didn't realize that dafont would let you do a custom preview for all the fonts at once, so I types in MC Hammer and then just scroll down the whole page looking for something similar. but you probably already knew that. anyway, found more one maybe (all have something a little right and a little wrong):

    - Klein Slabserif

    - Cipher

    - BDP OldNeo

     

     

  • You could also use multiple fonts if, for example, the caps look good, but the lower case doesn't, or a particular letter (a and g are common ones) is too stylized.

    I was thinking about that, I guess it's up to KST how much effort she wants to put in ;)

    That looks seriously awesome!

    doesn't it?!  nesties to the rescue :)

  • Okay, having fun patching together fonts. :) Give me another day or so!

  • Ok...how's this? If you're not liking the text that I cobbled together, then just tell me which of the ones you suggested that you like best and I can put all the letters in it.

    Love it!  That's the right album i think, and it's a more distinctive font.
