Fender Font

[Scott Roc]

I did a search but didn't find anything.
Does anyone know the name of the Fender font, and a reliable place to get it online?

[SuperDuck]

Yup, I went through the same search a little while back:

Except the "E"s in the Fender are caps with this font, not small, and need to be resized to match the real Fender logo.

That font file comes through as corrupted for me, any one found one that works?

This one comes through as corrupted too, I think there may be an interface problem between fonts generated on PC's and using them on macs.
I'll have to keep searching.

I'm not sure if you'll find a font that will give you all the letters perfect.

The Fender logo was most likely hand designed by a graphic designer "way back when"

If I need a logo exact, I trace it using CorelDraw, or Illustrator.

But if you just need a similar font...Brush Script is kinda close, and comes with Windows.

True. The Banff normal in the link above is a little bit thicker than the true Fender font. And I can't find a "Banff - light".

Thats about as close as I've got it using Brush Script. Anyone had luck using decal paper?

You can make the font size a bit smaller on just the E so it will fit better...just highlight the one letter and change the size.

I just knocked this out in word - I'll take it into photoshop and tweak when I have some time.

Right on!...looks cool so far, I can't wait to see the final design.

Here is the final, I used Brush Script MT in photoshop and tweaked it to look right-ish. I printed it on Deleter paper because I didn't find any decal paper on my day off, it was printed using a laserjet printer, and secured with clear coat.
