Ornate Initials

Gustav Greffrath24 July 2009 · 07:42

Hi Everybody

I am designing a logo for a band. The inspiration comes from ornate initials seen in many typographic executions from the middle ages.

Can anyone suggest a font that has these or perhaps another resource where I can find these letters.

I attach a jpeg of what I mean.

Thanks in advance

That's Victorian, not mediaeval.
So, it's like the difference between Oasis and the Beatles, Green Day and the Pistols.
In other words a polished, stylized elaboration.
I suggest you go to MyFonts.com and search for fonts by trying various keywords.
