I'm sure this has probably been asked about before - but I'm trying to find the "choppers" logo here: http://www.stickergirl.com/images/WestCoastChoppers.jpg

thanks

That's one of the Adobe Woodtypes, I think Ironwood.
Lemmecheck.

It is indeed.

Gah, that is such an ugly neometalblackforestgothesque logo. Straight out of the CorelDraw palette of envelope tools. Blech.

What I've got trouble with is the Nazi iconography that keeps
popping up. I know most of the time it's not intended as such,
but iron crosses freak me out.

Envelopes suck big time. Distortion by photocopier is way kewl.

Oh I totally agree with all of that - I just have a client who pretty much wants a rip off of the WCC logo for their own - so whatta ya gonna do? hah - thanks ONCE AGAIN guys!

Later

Honestly, Tom, if you can't convince the client that the point of identity design is to create a unique IDENTITY, I would not take the gig. Sometimes the money is not worth your soul... that's just my opinion though. Nothing new under the sun, I understand, but a straight rip-off turns you into a mere hack with a computer and not a designer. Hope that doesn't sound too harsh...
