Preserved Topic: Asylum Font (Page 1 of 1)

Can somebody tell me what font was used in the Asylum logo, or was it done with the path tool?

I believe Doc did that one by modifying an existing font.

Indeedy he did....altohugh what it was I've never quite been able to place.

Actually, that font started out as "Kabel", just like my OZONE font was, once upon a time. What I do is start with the letters in Illustrator, spaced out nicely, and then I use "create outlines" to make them into paths instead of text. Then I think I started with rounding the corners just a bit, (fixing them up in several places), then I straightened out the tops and bottoms of the letter. Kable has just a wee bit of slant for the flat tops and bottoms, but I didn't like that for transforming to raster art. Then it was just a matter of stretching, twisting, and overlaying the shapes. The M and the A were propaply the most abused, I widened the base of those letters to give that whole "monolithic" feel. The .ai file is here in the http://www.ozoneasylum.com/work/ directory if anyone wants to poke at it.

Your pal, -doc-
