Does anyone have a high res image or a vector (eps/pdf) of the sierra or samurai logo? its a strange font and i just cant find a good quality version of it anywhere!

This is the only one i can find so far, and its no good to redraw (im making some vinyl stickers)

Cheers =)

May be easier to redraw, search the us sites for stickers and such.

Not a .psd but I'm sure you could make it one in a few minutes by tracing the outline.

ahhh but you're mistaken - PSD is only good for the interweb... vector is the format (AI, EPS, PDF) =)

Karmic is scanning me some manual covers so i can redraw them.
If anyone wants the files to take to a signwriter to get vinyl-cut, email me =)

Thanks guys.

the suzuki font from the older logo (they have a new font now made just for them, called Suzuki Font) is Univers - its made my linotype and you gotta buy it (not many dodgy fonts on the net). Suzuki also use Franklyn Gothic alot in their marketing campaigns.

The samurai and sierra font however is still an 80's font and you can bet its not a free one available on DaFont... im sure theres one that are close, but i want exact =)

Yeah no worries for the pic ..Just trying to help.
If I can convert it to Vector form on photoshop or Illustrator then anyone else with half a clue can too! :finger:
