I'll pretend that I'm Robert M and say, Yes, I would like to recreate the same weathered stamp feel. Do you know any tutorials?

The technique I used to use was to set the type you want as large as you can on a letter-sized piece of paper, then print it out on a laser printer, crumple it up as many times as it takes to get the distortion you want, then scan it back in.

Ha, I've actually seen that linked from somewhere. Maybe I googled and got it. It was a few months ago. Thanks.

I guess you can also print out your type small, enlarge it on a photocopier, then scan that back in.

That's smarter. One day I will do that.

<font class="dontLookLikeCrap">Here's a quick "tutorial" for Photoshop I made.

0. Download or make some "grunge" brushes
1. Create some type on white backround. Rasterize the type.
2. Use eraser tool with grunge brushes to wear out the text. Add some filter->distort->ripple and pinch/punch etc.
3. Add layer effects, some white inner glow looks nice. Flatten the image
4. Make a different image that has a paper texture. Paste the stamp on the background, use blend mode "multiply"

Edit: Oops...I should've thought about his a bit more, now there isn't any inking in the corners...

When i was student i've find a cool method. You print your text in horizontal mirror on a rhodoid paper. As the ink haven't time to dry, you report it on a sheet. Use an ink jet printer and the result will be great.

Bender, I use a similar technique a lot at work: I print the mirror image with the inkjet on the wrong (glossy) side of projection film and transfer while still wet to a blank piece of paper.

Experiment a little with size and paper quality and you'll get very interesting stamp effects.

Thanks guys, interesting techniques. I might still use this as an excuse to buy ScanFont and make my own date stamp.
