Eighties Writing

[MrMoonyMan]

Morning all,

Been googling for a bit now trying to find samples of Sevenites/Eighties style writing, getting really frustrated because I can picture what I want in my head but can't for the life of me think where to find it or how to draw it.

The style of writing that I'm thinking of is where the letters are made up out several different lines and looks very 'period'. Usually Red/Black or Red/Black/Orange.

Anyone got any ideas what I'm waffling on about or am I a mentalist?

Oh, and a cool but not totally related image for you to say thanks in advance..!

No, not that font but thank you very very much for that site - just what I needed!

Think I've found what I needed - very similar to the TVR logo too btw.

Just need to work out how to get them from that site into Word now!

Ha, I thought you meant actual handwriting. My missus still writes in the same'Duran-ny' style she used at school, in the eighties.

I'm having an overwhelming 80's moment.
As I opened this thread Phil Collins came on the radio.

All I need now is a film about gun running in south america.

Still can't think of the game or program that I was visualizing in my original post...

Like the TVR logo that was linked but red/black/orange.

A remote control car of some sort...? Hmmm

Thats the later logo - TVR were also Purple and White and Black and Red as well as Blue and White
