I am pretty certain I already own the font used in the main logo, but I don't seem to be able to identify it by name. Does anyone know the name of it? (Please don't send me the font, I just need the name) I keep thinking it starts with a B, but maybe not.

Thanks in advance,
Mike Jackson

Mike- It looks similar to Bauhaus except for the A and N- you tweak those yourself. Hope this helps,

Businko, or Businko Squeezed

Mike, "Businko Squeezed" is the actual full name of the condensed version of that font, and I do believe that what's in the logo you show.

Thanks all,
I think it is Busorama, a URW font. I downloaded Businko from a shareware site, but it is different in a few characters. I modified it enough for this little For Lease sign.

Many of these fonts look so similar and then the names start sounding similar after a while. I remember seeing it and kept thinking it started with B. I'm 50 now, so I have an excuse!

The job will go out soon!
Thanks,
Mike Jackson

Hey Arthur,
Yep, looks like you know your fonts! Thanks for taking the time to help me get it right. By the way, I love the fonts you did for Letterheadfonts.com. Very nice! I'm a big fan.

Thanks for your compliment. As you already know I'm a big fan of yours I shan't bother to mention it. [Wink]

The funny thing was when Mike said "I keep thinking it starts with a B, but maybe not".
I used to think it was just our shop. Not a week goes by that one of us doesn't ask the other. "What's the name of this font? I know I know it. I think it starts with a (you name the letter)"
How do we remember the first letter but not the name? Curious..

Don,
Being 50 is the only excuse I have right now! For the previous 49 years, I could only say I failed to recall something. Now it is safe to say I just plain forgot the whole thing.

Hi Scott, Bitstream Fontnavigator 3.0, it came with one of the earlier versions of CorelDraw, images captured with UltraSnap.
