It's not exact, though you may like Cherub or Jade Monkey.

Hi Cheshire, Thanks for your posts -- here and on my "The Train Robbers" thread. This type has to be exactly recreated, so if I can't find a digital font I may have to find a source to scan (type book or ?). Any other suggestion will be appreciated.

This looks like lettering to me. Note the differences between the individual letters "arum" between the two words, especially the "a".

Since you have halfway descent images of these logos, it wouldn't be too hard to redraw them in something like Illustrator. (Or maybe even hire someone to do it for you. :-)

Cheshire, BTW, I like your cheshire cat on your Web site. As an Alyce (pronounced Alice, just spelled with a y) and a cat lover it ocurred to me to use the cheshire cat in my own stationery, etc. Your tie in is obviously much closer. Several years ago I bought one-time usage rights from Bettmann Archives for the original Tenniel illustration, for a Friskies magazine project. Here's the image:

Mark,

Luckily someone else working on this project is more Illustrator literate than I. We were just hoping to make our lives easier.

Saw the following article on your Web site, and will get back to it when I have some uninterrupted time to read.

Typecasting: The Use (and Misuse) of Period Typography in Movies

Thanks!

Thanks, Alyce -- a detail of the image you used is the startup image on my computer. I'm very surprised to hear, however, that the Tenniel illustrations aren't in the public domain. Tenniel's been dead for nearly 100 years! Oh well, don't tell Bettmann I scanned it out of my Annotated Alice.

Cheshire, Public domain? Probably. However, we had the art budget and a reputable source so we spent the money. The price was cheap to protect ourselves and the client.

Have you seen the Pennyroyal editions of Alice? They were designed and illustrated by Barry Moser. Illustrations, page design and typography are all beautiful. Check out his Richard Nixon-inspired Humpty Dumpty.

Mark, I'll never watch a period film the same way again. I found myself wondering about the Disney film "Newsies," since newspapers seem to be a stumbling block for many of the films you cited.

Living in Los Angeles we are able to recognize many film locations. Downtown, in particular gets used a lot. 7th Street was recently dressed to look like New York for the next Spiderman movie. Fake signage was up for about a week � our Metro station even had a New York subway sign added. I wonder how many tourists were totally confused.
