I am trying to identify, or closely match the font we used on our operating logo. It was developed on paper some 15 years ago.

I am hoping that I have successfully attached a small version of the logo.

Thanks for the help!

I'm just browsing through a font site, and will post a link and name of each one that resembles

Low Rider 'W' is a little different, but if you can convert to outlines, it's easily fixed. If you're needing the logo, I could do that for you.

Well, that's all I could come up with. I searched about 60 pages of fonts, and that's the only one resembling it. Afraid that's the closest I can find. Perhaps others will know it or come up with something better.

Seeming more and more like it was a one off... I'll see if anyone else comes up with something, and I'll check with the guy at work to see if he wants to have a custom font made up. We'd only need the three letters anyway!

Thanks for the help so far!

If it's from 15 years ago, it might well have been hand rendered.

I think you are quite right. We found some paper layouts. Wow, what a pain in the a__ it must have been back then! ha ha...

We found something very close last night, Majorette BV. It should work for us.

Thanks for taking a look all!

Thanks Liam,
I think that's how the guy from work found it. The whatthefont deal works pretty well if anyone else is trying something similar.
