Help needed on a Font!

sn0wstorm · #1 (**permalink**) 08-21-2006, 10:34 AM

I am in dire need of help...

I would like to make a Mock-Up of the old Vineyard Chips for our Home Poker Round.

I am looking for the fonts used on "The" "Vineyard" and "Casino"

If anyone could help me out there, I would really appreciate this

Thanks in advance!

Bernd

Wish I could help you, I checked identifont.com and a couple of others.. can't remember the URLs and I have had no luck... it was of course my first attempt at finding a font... but I was not lucky for me. Could that have been made special for these chips?

"Casino" looks like Gill Sans

"CASINO" is either Gill Sans or Avant Garde

The "VINYARD" part is font based, but most likely altered significantly to make the logotype stylized.

Actually, the "CASINO" text is in Century Gothic. We use that for my production company's logo (Tohubohu Productions).

Not sure about the "Vineyard," though. I concur that it's probably significantly altered to make it unique, but I'll see if I can figure out what it's based on. Doesn't look like anything out of the standard Adobe library, but I'll check my books...

Edit: Don't know about "The" either, though I suspect it's also an altered version of one of the more ornate script-type faces (something like Edwardian Script, though that's not it). The "h" and "e" look fairly normal, but the capital T is unfamiliar to me. Looks like they actually took a "C" character and altered it to look more like a "T".
