Industria Solid. If you just search for "industria", you won't find the right font.

I found it using "industria" as my query string.

I found it using "industria" as my query string.

Really? Hm, well, I downloaded it years ago, and all of the fonts I found called "industria" were the wrong one. Mind you, I was looking for a free one, so that's probably why.

 

[Nt3N]

maybe you are getting confused with "industrial"

 

[Jolty]

Nope, it's the second one on this page:

So ugly.

 

[Nt3N]

Oh, I didn't know.. well ok, then it's better searching for "industria solid".

 

[Magrathean]

I meant the font they used from Skydancer to The mind's i:

 

[Nt3N]

I think that was a hand-drawn logo.. all the letters look different, and it's not only a matter of distortion..

It could probably be reproduced. I'd create the font but I'm really past my weekly share of free time.

 

[Kenneth R.]

i'd say it's a font that was then distorted with the something like a fisheye filter. that's why there are small discrepancies between letters of the same type.

I'd have to agree. Look at the Ls, the curves are much different.

 

[afz902k]

I think it could be either hand-drawn or a distorted font, which in addition to the Wide-Lens effect, would have a kind of ondulation effect.

 

[Nt3N]

I'd have to agree. Look at the Ls, the curves are much different.

I think I was wrong. It's just the same character for band Cathedral's logo!

 

[Caotico]

We made that logo on Anders Fridén's dad's computer back in the day, and it's a shareware font (no idea what it's called though) with some filtering.

 

[afz902k]

Interesting! Thanks for that information, Caotico!

I, fortunately, was able to locate the font (sample), it is called Manegrim.

 

[Kovenant84]

And the effect was probably just Word's funny text editor thingie...

oh, right - WordArt.

It has the option to put it in a 'bubble' form, or at different slants and the like.

~kov.

 

[Caotico]

Yes, it was just the text editor's (Word Perfect, not Word) native "effects". We were totally amazed that it was even possible to play around with the letters like that.

 

[Kovenant84]

Ah, Word Perfect. The memories.

And yeah, I spent about a week playing with that when I first found it too.

[Nt3N]

Hehehehe, cool now we know

 

[Kenneth R.]

told ya...

 

[Jolty]

I had always imagined the 16-year-old band members sitting around in math class, drawing logos on lined paper while the teacher glared at them.
