Nick Shinn's Duffy I think.

Yep. Here’s a link: Duffy at Shinntype

Looks quite different to me.

At first I agreed with you Jan, but when I looked at the glyph set, there are several versions of every letter, and I think this really is Duffy Script.

Just to prove my point.
Top: sample
Bottom: Duffy demi and bold

Those are the default letters from a test drive. Look at other glyphs in the character map.

The other complications: I think perhaps some stroke thickness has been added, and perhaps some rotation of the G, but I do think this is Duffy Script.

[edit: The description of the font says it was designed with four versions of every letter, and OpenType would randomize them to make the result look more handwritten.]

I see. But still, the ‘c’ doesn’t look like it’s been drawn by Mr. Nick Shinn.

I guess anything's possible, including someone re-drawing a single letter. It would have been interesting if Nick was around to offer his opinion, since it's his font. Since I don't own the font, I have no way to play with it.

Maybe I'll try to stir him up to see if he wants to weigh in on this one, but do you agree now that most of this seems to be Duffy Script?

[edit: I've sent an e-mail to Nick, to see if he would like to participate in this thread]

It's not Duffy Script, but it's based on it.
The execution is cruder, for one thing, and as Jan demonstrates, this is a weight between Duffy's Demi and Bold.

Don't you hate it when that happens Nick? Why didn't they just use yours as it's better anyway?

It's their prerogative, and quite legitimate.
For just a few letters in a logo, they may have thought it unnecessary to purchase the font, and they could do a screen grab at my site, or one of my distributors, of the letters they needed, and use that as the basis for making their own custom version of the wordmark.

Or perhaps they considered that the font was almost right for the job, but too slick and the wrong weight.

At any rate, the re-working provides a custom logo that cannot be exactly duplicated by anybody else using the font.

I just googled "Glitch", and came up with this:

I don't hate that, I love it!
I wonder how Amanda feels?

So perhaps the main reason is that the letters needed to be re-drawn for the illustration anyway, because it would be just too stilted for the illustrator to duplicate the font shapes (which are in essence a hardened-up version of hand lettering), especially considering the perspective dimensionality required.

I love Mr. Shinn.

Hey Nick... don't you think that screen grabs are like sexual harassment... 'cept worse?
