Fonts just meant that lettering came from the fount or inkwell of a given designer, a singular version of a lettering style is what became known as a typeface when we advanced to moveable type thanks to Mr. You might also look at a typeface by that name, it is another in that same realm of styles.įonts and typefaces have been around for centuries. To have this actually be made from brass and have it chromed, or have it done in stainless steel, would not be hard, however you would either have to deal with several loose pieces/letters, or bridge them, much like the automotive lettering badges for cars such as the Belair. The lettering style you chose would probably do well for you, but if you want it to look closer to the Chris Craft logo, you need to compress it horizontally and reduce the spaces between the letters. I'll try not to forget to upload a pic of the end result, for now, here is a pic of the basic design with the editted Rocket font.Īs it was already noted or commented on, the Chris Craft logo was designed not as a typeface or font, but for that finished piece itself. These sites helped me out a lot, so yes -although I allready found them- your wife is right that is propably the best place to start when looking for a specific kind of font.Īnd you're also right about the logo's being made before fonts and computers, that's probably the main reason why these logo's look so authentic and cool instead of finding a logo that suits the lettering, they hired skilled artists to design the lettering for that specific name, so all letters look cool, not just the total name.Īnyway's, I was hoping maybe someone had rebuilt a font from that Riva or Chris Craft lettering ( you can find a lot of fonts derrived from logo's such as Ford and Ferrari etc) but I guess the makrt demand is too low.Īt least I found a really cool font and my nameplate is gonna look awesome, now I need to find out how to make it in chrome! ![]() Yeah, I came across those in my searches and they were a big help, it was through one of those that I found most of the fonts I picked to choose from, before that it was just going through endless pages of fonts that weren't at all what I was looking for in the hopes of catching a good one, like gold searching in a muddy river bed.

I own a yard built mahogany speedboat built in 1964 and it doesn't have any fancy writings or decals, no nothing! So I'd like to put up the name I gave the boat in equally kick-*** lettering as the famous brand-boats. M not looking for the actual logo, but a font simmilar to that of Chris Craft (although it would be awesome to have exactly the same font) not to write the words "chris chraft" with, but the name of my own boat. Me thinks you didn't completely understand me, I Thanks, not really what I was looking for, but might come in handy when I own (and have to redo some of the decals ~scare~) an actual Chris Craft.
