Need to ID KFC Logo typefaces

meganpru

Hello Typophiles,
I need some help identifying the logo typefaces used on www.kfc.com (the "Kentucky Fried" and "Chicken" typefaces). I'm thinking they may be custom fonts, but if they look familiar to any of you, please let me know. Thank you! :)

Landor did the new logo...

...that should help narrow it down... ;-)

"Chicken" is Caflish Bold Pro

Caflisch is what I was thinking, too, but it looks like it's been tweaked a little. I think I found a spoof font of their "Kentucky Fried" logo as well, that's about as close as I can get.

Thanks for the help all! :)

I guess some tweaking is waranted, if only to justify the exorbitant invoices Landor sent to KFC. :^P

On that link sii posted, it says that it was not Landor that did the rebrand? It says it was done by a firm called Tesser.

yes, Landor did the last one in 1997.

Tesser (www.tesser.com) is taking credit for the new one.

Oops - sorry about that
