It's none of them. Bocephus Jones II 10-12-2005, 09:16 AM Anybody knows what kind of font does Colnago use on its logo? I think I have a knockoff true type that someone designed at home, but it isn't a standard font. They also airbrush it on so they don't make stickers. carioca 10-13-2005, 04:21 AM Doing some research I found out it's Bookman Old Style with Bold and stretched out. Look at the one I made below. I think I need to stretch a bit more. elviento 10-13-2005, 09:36 AM Doing some research I found out it's Bookman Old Style with Bold and stretched out. Look at the one I made below.

Look at the "C" in the attached picture. <img src=http://www.trialtir-usa.com/2006-colnago/c50-hp/images/c50_wh06.jpg> atpjunkie 10-13-2005, 02:16 PM and the G should have vertical (not angled descender) on the serif close but no cigar carioca 10-14-2005, 02:46 PM looking at the name on th frame I see the difference. The one I rsaw as a referenc when I found the bookman ol style was from a colnago autorized dealer website. I guess they had used bookman old style too, as it is pretty darn close, but not the right one. Thanks for the sharp shooters out there. dannybgoode 10-27-2005, 09:36 AM Off the subject I know but that's a fantastic looking C50... campagnoloneutron 09-14-2006, 03:57 PM Anybody knows what kind of font does Colnago use on its logo? This thread originated last year but then kinda died on the vine... anyone have further info on a typefont that is close or fairly close for the Colnago frame lettering... somewhat closer than the Bookman typefont already mentioned. wasfast 09-17-2006, 05:18 PM Looking at Colnago's website and their various ads, I suspect that the exact font is a constant issue. While the frame shown has double serifs, older colnago decals are single serif as are most ads. I guess it begs the question, how close is close and which is right? cocoboots 09-20-2006, 06:16 PM Looking at Colnago's website and their various ads, I suspect that the exact font is a constant issue. While the frame shown has double serifs, older colnago decals are single serif as are most ads. I guess it begs the question, how close is close and which is right? they use double serifs, single serifs, vertical and horizontal upper serif on their website... i've found 3 different fonts just on the opening page and then clicking to see the upcoming models. the only thing that remains constant is the double, vertical serif on newer frames |
