Never mind - the client miraculously "found a good version" of the logo after sending them 3 shitty proofs.  :whip:

Gabriola. Which, oddly, shares many of the same letters!

I knew there was a "g" in it somewhere!

This is a good one, appears to be Brush Script, but I think it's been modified, particularly the "m" after the cap S. Ideas?

Oh, and to add extra insult, on the card it also has a 1pt white stroke and a dropshadow, so any tinkering I do to it as outlines in Illustrator I'll have to recreate those wonderful additions also.

I think it's Brush Script, but they have adjusted the tracking so the left half of the "m" goes into the right half of the "S."

Definitely abused brush script

Slappy

I wish it was as simple as tracking, but the lc "m" has an ascender swoosh that can't be hidden behind the cap S. Fucking garbage, they have 3 other pieces, ALL with different script fonts! I may just use one of those & tell 'em that's the way it is.

Once outlined in Illy, use the open arrow tool to manipulate the "m". Do you want my file?

Fuck yes!! I tried in Illy, made a mess out of it, moved on.  :death:

Thanks man!  :thumbsup:

FFS, mine's actually not too bad - BUT - adding that 1pt white stroke even in Illy is a pain in the ass. See my screenshot directly above your post.

The "m" is an open path, and I left the individual letters as individual letters in case you need to manipulate further. The file you posted as an example is on a second layer that you can delete or turn off for closer matching. I need you to PM me your email address; it's too large to add as an attachment.

[edit] You would need to create it as a compound path to add the proper stroke (or copy and paste behind).
