I don't. It's nice.

Chances are it was "bent" like that with a photoshop filter.

Thanks Jbaker,

I am trying to come up with a logo for a charity ride we are putting together this year, where all the proceeds go to breast cancer. the original logo had a picture of a biker underthe "RIDE FOR A CURE" however the picis a portrait from david mann and I am sure it is copyrighted. I like the letters on that one but for the life of me I cannot find that font.

If anyone out there wants to throw in a few pics or suggestions just feel free.

Thanks
Jimmer

Here is a cool site for fonts. Every kind of font you can imagine.

http://www.fontspace.com/category/outlined

Once there, you can type in the words you want and get a preiview, there is also a slider to increase or decresae the font size, font catagories on the righjt. I have not figured out how to get the free fonts, so I cheated and used snag it to capture the results then place in my photos. There is a butt load of fonts on this site.

Thanks everyone for trying, I will continue the hunt. If I do find it I will post it, I think it is a cool font and will look cool in some sigs.

Good sites, guys. Thanks. I looked through the most logical fonts in my favorite site for this one and didn't find it, but if you're interested. . .

You know, you could make that font. Here's a quickie with no attempt to make it just like the original - just a demo.

First I made the letter with arial, and then drew the rounded tip, lower right.

Next I duplicated the layer, loaded selection and expanded the selection about 10 pixels. I painted that black.

Next I duplicated that layer, expanded that selection a couple of pixels and painted it gray.

Next I flood filled the backgound black.

Here's what I get, again with no real effort. It cound be cleaned up.

Edit - You don't need the black bg, that's just for here. For a printer, I'd leave it clear.

Edit 2 - Of course that's not really making a font, just a graphic, lol.

Thanks again Jbaker, That is pretty cool. It will take some practice but I think that may be quicker than finding that darn font.

Thanks everyone for the sites I did find some other fonts that I have downloaded in the last couple days.
