Looking for some fonts

chinaski · 06-08-2003, 01:11 PM

Hey guys, does anyone know where i can get fonts that are similar too the Dodgers font, or something along the lines of the Phillies cursive style font? I like the Portland Beavers font quite a bit, http://www.portlandbeavers.com (top left, the cursive, not the block).

Im not looking for font sites, ive searched them all - chank, fonts.com, larabie and all the crappy ones, none seem to have any good cursive style fonts that would look good as a BB teams name logo - most are way too thin.

any help is appreciated!

here's a few good places for fonts-

www.fontfreak.com

and this one here has fonts from companies, sports teams, everything...

http://www.sharkshock.com/fonts/fontscom.html

Whenever I need a good font I go to those two sites

I like that sharkshock.com, too bad they dont have any baseball teams up there.

Found a font that works for real basic cursive.

Try the script fonts at www.fontfile.com. I used the Alanko Bold font to create a Beavers scripted name that I elaborated by outlining and adding the underline.

There are a whole bunch more fonts that I haven't even looked at yet.

Used the Brush Script for the base of this logo - required a little work though to match the tail up and to add the swirls to the D and g
