...it's bad, I know.

I moderate their official forum, and we get kids all the time asking what it is.

I was referred here and told that you guys were the experts.

I would think so, but I swear I used to have this font on my old computer. I remember going through deleting the ugly ones, and I'm pretty sure this was one of them.

I could, of course, be wrong. (!)

I would ask the owners of the Forum.

Funny stuff. I never delete ugly fonts I have 'em all categorised as "circus fonts" in neat little folders ready to never be used. But you never know...

I am pretty sure though that this particular font is not in any of my circus-mania folders. Sorry

I would ask the owners of the Forum.

He doesn't know; he didn't create it.

I think I just had too many. One of those things where I used to download every single one I could find and just got sick of sifting through them. It was on my old PC anyway, so I wouldn't have it regardless.

I think this was even IDed unsuccessfully before. Nevertheless, I found a Mars Volta Font (right click .. save as), but I think it came after the original logo. Hope it helps.

Ahhh...The Comatorium. Our competition!

I'm on a Mac, though, so I can't view it.

Thanks, though.

Whoa, wikkid stuff! Haven't got a clue what it might be tho.
Can't you get in touch with the people who designed their
stuff? It could be a custom design yaknow.

Do you really think it's ugly? Tho it's something
I probably wouldn't use, I think it's a very well
executed concept and it looks way kewl.

Let's hear if anybody else has seen it before...

NEVER delete ugly fonts, you'll never know when
they might come in handy.
