celica logo font Options

[whitefuzz]

does anyone know the font type used for the tags on the back of our cars?

if you have tags they'll say "celica"
i'd like to know the font

then print out big letters

draw the shapes on a MDF board

work the wood till only the letters remain

put the letters on my sub case

have a nice showy trunk

No idea of the font but be sure to take pics when you do it.

Same -- sounds like a really sweet idea. I imagine if you look around the web on those font websites you might be able to find 'car fonts' or maybe a Toyota font of sorts.

Take a close up pic of the celica badge and scan it into your computer... make sure that you are not standing at and angle when you take the pic though...

You will be able to blow the image up a little bit. Once you do that go to KINKO'S or someplace like that and they will be able to make it any size you want it. Use that for your pattern to cut.

Other wise I still have my celica badge some where I would sell it to you.

you might be able to find something online that would show the badge at a striaght angle... or maybe a front window sticker somewhere would have the same font.

Another suggestion once you have the pattern made would be to build a new box that had the "Celica" cut out of it then plexiglass the inside... you could drop a neon on the inside of the box... It looks really cool on of my friends Mitsu has this with the Mitsu logo... really cool looking!

great idea neverstop

cutting the logo out in the box would look great

although i think it's rather difficult to do

you'll have to make a perfect cut
+ i'll try to finish my box (& entire trunk) with fakie leather
so i don't think i'll be able to apply the leather to the letters when cut out the box...
but i'll definitely give it a quick try on a spare piece of wood when i have the leather

thx for the tip!

if anyone knows the font, i'm still searching...

[whitefuzz]

yes yes i found it

it was up on www.toyotacelicas.com

it's the toyota mr2 font in their download section

if you use upper case letters its the same as our tags

just 3 more weeks of working & then i got a 3 week holiday to work on my trunk
i'm getting all the preparations done so it should be done in a month or 2
