Hi,

I was wondering if anyone had any idea what the font Abbey have used in their new logo, the original would obviously not have the fading (?)!!

Any Ideas?

Here are some links...

Looks like FF Cocoon with a few modifications.

I think the font may be Linotype's "Apect Intro". Does that look like it?

Nah, I can see it's similar, but when I get them on screen together, they're not the same, even if you added weight to it. Never mind :-(

Could it be custom made?

I ran through the FontBook, MyFonts and T-26
without any luck - what a complete waste of time!

Do I hear anybody saying "get a life"?

Nicolai -
I'm almost positive it's custom.
I could be wrong though.
They used my Bryant for the rest.
