name this font, please

[delooch]

this is silly...
I was give the brand standards for this company, and guess what I found...

because their designer hacked 2-3 fonts together to make a logo typeface?

[David]

that's my guess, and they do this so they can keep crap like this in-house, DA's

that's prolly why it doesn't match a single font, mygawd, the audacity of some desingers, hacking a font just to make it their own...  geez

[David]

the sad part is, the company that did this, is now wanting me to make text edits to their signs, after they approved the brand standards done from someone else. Why don't you send it to them to do the edits?

arrrrrg

my experience has been that the "brand standards" are really only followed by the creator/designer, and that most most of the people requesting the work/changes have NO IDEA what/why brand standards are implicated. even better is when they enact strict logo usage rules, then not have ANYTHING readily available for use in proper format.

then again, im trapped in a government shop. things made a little more sense in the commercial world.

Thank you.
We have customers that insist on using their ad agency, then two years later want us to make make radical changes.

thanks for the laugh, but sadly no, things make less sense in the commercial world.

We were doing some GPO jobs a while back, and I remember getting a disk with the files. And included with the disk,  was a sheet of paper that was a screen capture of the fonts used in the job. No fonts mind you, just a list of what they used, maybe.

In the commercial world, I get a disk from an "agency", the disk includes every font they have on their computer, and of course, it's missing the one they used.

You are in deep doodoo now as you have already attempted to mess with it. The police will be there shortly.

I've got some ongoing problem here of a job that did not supply a particular Helvetica LT. I have it so I used it, and the one I used linked right up without having to substitute anything and the job looks fine. I mentioned that they did not supply it so of course I get a download link to a zip of what supposedly is all the fonts in use on the job. It's of course the same shit they sent originally. There's no problem except that there's apparently some "legal thing" about me not using our fonts on this particular job (Big Pharma at work... don't get me started)

So they're all hung up on this but still refuse to answer my question as to what to do with the line on this letter that reads <variable date>

I love dealing with brand standards and corporate style guides. They please me immensely.

ok, you got me, I am a multi tasker at heart....

I can:
walk, chew gum, AND hold a drink in my hand, all while not spilling a drop.  I am available for parties.
