Font Question?

DCHepler25 · 07-08-2008, 08:33 AM

Can you guys help me identify the fonts used in the Hershey Bears logo and the typical Pittsburgh Pirates font?

Thanks in advance.

I believe the font on that Bears logo is this one:

Thanks knuckler!

I am also interested in knowing the font used for the center "H" and "P"

The H is from a font called big top:

Eriq Jaffe's fonts are great, but by and large they're for the names and numbers on the back of the jerseys so most of them aren't reflective of the front fonts. Quite a few of them are very unique like the Reds and the MLB Tuscan, but I don't think the Pirates font will give the desired effect.

Thanks again knuckler!

All those fonts are great and will make my new logos that much better!

Eriq Jaffe's fonts are great - and they can be hit and miss. I have had good luck with the Pirates font. The Bashon uniform below is using that font. I have also had some success using Eriq's Blue Jays font for custom jerseys.

Jaffe's fonts differ from uppercase and lowercase. I believe the Pirates font will be what we're familiar with if you use lowercase type.

Thanks guys, you learn something new everyday. I see now that the lower case on a few of them are the front fonts.

FYI. You can use a font viewer from a site such as Tucows Download or Free Software Downloads and Software Reviews - Download.com. I've used a font viewer to print a few fonts. Or you can use the Character Map included with Windows. Click on Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Character Map OR click Start/Run and type CHARMAP. It will display all of the characters available in the fontset. You will find that some fonts have 255 characters. Plus you will find some characters you did not know existed. Click on the Help button to learn how to use the ALT + NumPad to easily use any extra characters.
