Fuzz Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I haven't been able to find anything similar yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micky Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 If I'm not mistaken, the word "Authority" on the GDA banner seems written with the same fontOr, at least, very similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarina. Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 ^ No.. that's a different one XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minus52 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 i dunno, and where is every one getting the picture that just says green day in the new font??? have they just cropped it from the album artwork?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spark in the night Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 it might have been designed for that cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klytaemnestra Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 it looks custom to me. the Es in "green day" are different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzz Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 No doubt it's a custom font. But i've looked for something similiar to it. And no, the "Authority" on GDA's banner isn't the same font. The GD one is much "box'ier" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micky Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Ok, it's different, but it's pretty similar though xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarnageXB Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I'm sure some graphics person made the font especially for the album. Someone will bring out a clone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLozza! Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I have no idea about where it's from sorry.EDIT: I'm useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I feel like i've seen something similar to that "R" before but it does look like a custom font Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarina. Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Yeah, I think this is a custom font.. I like it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blu Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I'm sure some graphics person made the font especially for the album. Someone will bring out a clone.If it was the guy who does the art, it was probably Chris Bilheimer. But I doubt the font is on the web yet then. Sometimes it really isn't a font. It might just be hand drawn and live traced (Adobe Illustrator has a thing called Live Trace you use to convert drawings into vectors). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towers Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I like this font better than the one from AI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haydée Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Andres, can you tell us the name of the one you used for ''Authority''? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzz Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 It's called "Gasmask"http://www.dafont.com/search.php?psize=m&q=gasmask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SetOnOverdrive Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 it might have been designed for that coverNah it looks like a font for sure. They have been using the font for advertisement purposes aswell. That seems very cost ineffective to have the artist draw it for each ad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Well get used to seeing it on the back of the stageAlso, Warning font was a "homage" of Husker Du's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blu Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Nah it looks like a font for sure. They have been using the font for advertisement purposes aswell. That seems very cost ineffective to have the artist draw it for each ad.The E's are different, which makes it seem like it might not be a font. And just because it has been used in several ads doesn't mean it's an actual font. Eventually you might find a font close or they may turn it into a font, but I really think it's just a sketch Live Traced and Live Painted at the moment. And it's not cost ineffective. You only have to sketch parts of if new each time. It wouldn't be hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SetOnOverdrive Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Well I was comparing this (the artwork) with this. Anyway thats how I got my theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzz Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 And the person who designed the font doesn't need to hand-draw each one after that. They probably drew a few variations that the band/label can start using on all sorts of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if it's the same guy who has done all the albums since Nimrod, I'm sure he wouldn't mind creating the different ones. If you make them right you don't even have to recreate letters. You just "create outlines" or some such and drag the individual letters into the new place you want them. It's very simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
