  1. Need Help ISO Oliver Tractor Font

    Pluto Heavy will get you pretty close. If you Google image search Oliver, it looks like they haven't really kept the exact type style consistent. Pluto Heavy - Desktop font « MyFonts
  2. Need Help Font ID please

    I should have phrased my previous comments better. I'm actually very interested in type design and type history, so I was genuinely curious if there was any connection between Versatile and Gotham. If you look at the following image, I'm sure you can understand why I thought there might be a...
  3. The simple ones are always the hardest...

    Nope, it's not Lucida Sans or Lucisan, and neither of those come in a "black" weight.
  4. Need Help Font ID please

    You're right, I don't. Is there more to the story? I'm curious what the connection is between Versatile and Gotham, if any.
  5. Need Help Font ID please

    Versatile looks like he just took Gotham and added some effects to it.
  6. Suggestions Cardinal Red (Avery)?

    Ah, you're just sending Pantone spot colours to the printer? That will only give you accurate results if you have made your own media profiles. It sounds like you're using the canned profiles from your machine, in which case your best bet is to print a full colour chart so you can match colours...
  7. Suggestions Cardinal Red (Avery)?

    Pantone 187 C looks pretty close to me. I don't know how you get by without a Pantone book - we use ours every day.
  8. Need Help Wordmark Logo for signage, apparel, website, ...

    But does that include a random guy who's opening a non-sign-related business and just came here to ask questions he should be asking his local sign company? I think we were all too distracted by his hilarious first logo to realise he actually shouldn't be here.
  9. Need Help Wordmark Logo for signage, apparel, website, ...

    That's an absurd argument to make. A designer is far less likely to screw up a design project than a non-designer trying to make their own "design".
  10. VersaWorks Not Reading Cutlines.

    VersaWorks doesn't give errors or warnings about transparencies. If there's a problem with a transparency, you might see it in the preview window, or you might not know until you see the print. You have to flatten all transparencies when you're doing print & cut in VersaWorks. That's the most...
  11. Question What 3D software would you recommend?

    You might not need dedicated 3D software—Illustrator and Photoshop both have 3D tools built in. We use Illustrator if we want an isometric 3D vector drawing of a dimensional sign and Photoshop if we want it mocked up on a photo.
  12. Can Someone name the font?

    The logo and everything else besides the bullet points is Helvetica.
  13. Customer supplied vectors not coming into Corel properly

    Right, so my point was that if you have a PDF or EPS file that originated from Illustrator and you're having issues opening it in Corel, it's more likely that Corel is to blame, not Adobe.
  14. Getting customers to check proofs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

    If the client gave you text that was correct, and you added a typo that wasn't there, that's your fault, not the client's. It doesn't matter if it was because they gave you the text in an image. It was your job to OCR it or type it out and check for errors, and you screwed it up.
  15. Customer supplied vectors not coming into Corel properly

    Blaming Adobe for incompatibility issues is about as far from the truth as you can get. Adobe designed the EPS and PDF formats that we all use. Both are standardized formats that are open for anyone to use, so in theory, they can all play nice together if they all follow the open standards.
  16. font help please n thank you

    Looks like this font is a custom design done for Budweiser by Ian Brignell, a Canadian type designer. He also designed Budweiser's current logo, and ironically, their "America" logo as well. It's Good to be the King Ian Brignell Lettering Design
  17. EPS viewer for thumbnails

    Yes, we run Adobe Bridge, Illustrator, Photoshop, Dimension, Indesign, etc. on Windows 10 here and it all works fine.
  18. EPS viewer for thumbnails

    Adobe Bridge does a great job of this. You get thumbnails of pretty much every type of file that Adobe software can read, plus you can add labels, star ratings, sort files, change thumbnail size, and view metadata.
  19. Bumper sticker Design Help

    There's no backwards "R" or "K" in Russian. Why not try some actual Cyrillic characters that look similar to Latin? Or even better, try conveying the message by using a constructivist font?
  20. Customer supplied vectors not coming into Corel properly

    Yes, we should be able to expect to be able to reliably transfer files between applications. That's what standards are for, and EPS/PDF are both standardized formats. The problem arises when some developers don't follow the standards, which is why I tend to stick with Adobe software, since...
