Hey does anybody know if there is a dingbat font out there that has like, well I'm not sure of their name but like "accent lines" like on old circus or western posters - like go around the text like on this shirt (i know it's kind of hard to see - but hopefully you can get the idea of what i'm talking about) http://splitusa.com/garmfall04/mensfall04/089.html
so any idea would be great! thanks

Like all the curly lines around the designs lol
hi tom.
There are tons of Dover books with typographic ornaments, scrolls
and flourishes ... try bookfinder.com with a
keyword of 'ornament' or 'flourish"
or try the design/clip art section at a major bookstore.
btw, that's the work of Hydro 74 ... he started working for Relevant a few months ago.

really? wow i thought it looked similar to some of his previous work...
so do you know of any font sites that might have ornaments or flourish dingbats? (*now that I know the name for those things ha - thanks*)
Dalliance (emigre) and Bickham Script (adobe) have flourishes.
probably lots of others.
also: lots of hits for 'flourish' at myfonts.com
Ok cool - now that I know what they're called I'll search and see what I can stumble across - thanks a lot for all your help BJ

BJ did hydro do any work for Gorillaz?
thanks BJ, I'll try to search around and see what I can stumble across now that I know what they're called! Thanks again

dunno, but I don't think so. Anything specific
in mind ...
those examples in your second post have some nice ornaments indeed. I wouldn't mind knowing the font on girlspink_shirt_zoom.jpg myself, although it's probably a hydro74 custom aswell right?
Adobe Wood Type Ornaments may be of interest.
ProDTP, a Russian website, offers lots of ornaments in EPS format.
Plenty of other decorative elements as well.
There are a couple of things I see on ProDTP that I like and that are downloadable, but how do you contact them? I don't speak or read Russian and wouldn't want to put something on a commercial site that would cause me problems.
Thanks,
Sharon
Nevermind, I found it. Sharon
