Anybody help???
I'm trying to find a font as close to the "Meat" style I can get but not having a lot of success, anybody know of one?
I seem to remember reading somewhere that there wasn't one but the writing was a mixture of fonts, though I'm probably wrong on that.
You're spot on Michael - the Meat Loaf logo is made up of a variety of fonts, and because of that there's a copyright on it.
Not sure about one's to get the usual Meat Loaf logo, there's one that's quite similar to the font used on the Dead Ringer vinyl single...

I want to do some stuff on leather but need a font for a pattern
(not that I'm saying this on a public forum, but ) can't you print the logo and use it as a template/stencil?
try to download deutch gothic.. that comes close..
very close
:D

Many thanks Caelan, did a search and led me to a site for free fonts that had it, and a couple of other interesting ones.
Anybody else interested just click below......

What am I supposed to do with this font once I've downloaded it? I just get a winzip file on my desktop. Where do I extract it to so that I can use it in word docs etc? Soz if this sounds a bit thick, but I'm not the most computer savvy guy around... my talents lie elsewhere ;)
Extact the zip file into your Windows/Fonts folder, the font sholuld then appear in the font list in word etc.

Don't worry, I'm the same, tried to have a discussion about my wireless internet connection the other night...wasn't happening! My talents definitely lie elsewhere!

Right, I did that, but it still wasn't showing up in text documents when I clicked on format and font, so I went into Windows>Fonts and noticed that the 'read-only' button wasn't ticked when I clicked on Properties, and it was for all the other fonts, so I clicked it, and hey presto! It works!
Does this mean I'm learning? ;)
Yep ... we'll make an IT geek out of you yet :lmao:

Yep I had to do the same!!!!!!!!!
The Deutch Gothic one will be the one I use, just got to change the capital "T" as it doesn't look right but the other letters are a near enough match.

How much would it take for you to share that particular secret? You must have seen me eyeing-up that jacket enviously at RAH ;)
Everybody had their eyes on it and at the signing!! Thats why its being held at a secret location in a very exclusive place!! In other words my bedroom its too heavy for Michael to take home!!
*Looks up address, hunts out burglary kit, practises innocent look and innocent "I've had one of these jackets for years" statement :whistle:
You'll have to get past Marvin first!!!

Thanks for everyone's help with the fonts, I'm using a collaberation of two.
I've also after much seaching found a company that'll do the stitching, all I have to do is print off what I want off the computer and they'll transfer it to leather, at an incredibly good price as well!!!!!!!!

Not bad.
Hey, that Bradley gratis font is great! The 'L' isn't as dodgy as the Deutch Gothic one! Will download it when I get home!:D

Gutted, went to the place that's doing my stitching for me and they couldn't use the font I wanted as it would've cost me £80 to get them to set it up + the £20 charge for the work, had to settle for some weird gothic font they've already got available.
Hey ho, life could be worse, I pick it up in three weeks - hope it looks ok
