(x) "Studio aka" logo geometric sans - customised (similar to Futura) {Sebastian, Yves}

mate

hi all,

does anyone know which font that stdio aka logo is (attahced)? Except from the k, which is probably customized, I´m pretty sure there is a font like this - I saw it used in an ad the other day as well.

Thanks alot.

Mate,

unfortunately no ID here, but you can easily achieve the same result by doing some easy tweaking of Avant Garde in Illustrator (see below which took about a minute). But obviously if you need to set more text then just a logo that won't be an option.

The 's' shape makes me think this is a customised Futura, but basically Sebastian nails it on the head.

hi mate,

as i've emailed you already, it's a custom font by monotype: opel sans.

AFAIK you can't buy it.

best,

Hi all,

thanks for you quick help! Closest one i found was

PS: How do I post images inside the mail? With html tags? Or can I somehow do an inline attachment (sorry for offtopic)

::peace.mate::

just use the insert image text link beneath the comment box and place the appended code whereever you want.

This doesn't look like Opel to me - I think Yves is right with a customised Futura.

That's no Opel Sans indeed. I should know.
