Quick bit of help please,

Can anyone identify the font used on his watermark?

The text's a bit too small, but if you find it bigger somewhere else, this is a handy tool: http://new.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/

I'm out of practice but as above try what the font

Looks a bit like Copperplate to me.

I find this site useful: http://www.identifont.com/identify.html

Might be worth running through the questions and see what it spits out? Doesn't always get it precisely, but often close enough if all you're trying to do is match the general style.

Looks like dullsville Arial to me.

I went to see but got distracted...

Don't recognise the font; it's too wide for Arial unless he's shopped it.

I tried the font finder but the font is too small for it to recognise. I've gone with copperplate as it looks ok, it was for a back of scenes video that I was putting together and couldn't get in touch with him to find out myself!

Thanks for the replies though, and that website is useful to know!

Looking at it a bit closer it may be Helvetica as there appears to be a flourish to the base of the G and R. Helvetica is slightly more condensed than Arial. It is hard to tell as it is so small. Arial is quite an open font.

The best thing to do is to apply a range of fonts to the type and see which you like best and suits how it will work for you. It is very easy in Illustrator or in Photoshop (before rasterizing the text) to manipulate the characters to get the look you want. Make a note of any adjustments for future reference so that you keep your type standard.

It is always a good idea to choose a common font to avoid issues in the supply of fonts if you are going to be getting someone else to do the artwork for you.
