aphex twin font?
 

nnychi from bakersfield.ca/seattle.wa on 2001-03-25 04:12 [#00001446]



does anyone know where to get the aphex twin font, ei; the
one on the upper left corner on this site, "aphex twin"
above his eyes.

It's more of a "logo" than a font, It would be very hard to
make text font type something like that, but someone should
probably make a font of the letter "style" I reckon that
would be cool


 

Red Monkey from USA on 2001-03-26 04:25 [#00001506]



I am a graphic artist and I have thought about a font before
too. I thought that that main problem would be deciding how
to do it. Like should every letter resemble the "A" or
should each letter have its own awesome look like the "A"
does.


 

Tekn010G from Australia on 2001-03-26 04:42 [#00001507]



copy the look of the letters that are there and improvise to
make the others look like it fits into the motif,
also,.. does anyone know where I can get a program that
makes text fonts for use in windows (eg wordpad, paint,
etc..) or even the name of a program


 

XePhA88 from San Jose, CA on 2001-03-26 11:22 [#00001527]



I agree, screw everyone else, and keep the "A" the way
richard intended it to be. That way only us rdj fans will
be able to read it, thus creating a more cult/community
feel. As for fontmaking programs:

http://www.macromedia.com/software/fontographer/

http://www.truetype.demon.co.uk/othertls.htm

http://www.pyrus.com/

http://www.lostcarpark.com/fonts/

but ya know, all that i really did was search on 'font
creator' in google. That macromedia one above sounds like
the best, but it probably aint cheap. see if you can find
it on navnetwork.net ... Hey, mr. graphic artist, hurry up
and make the font, we all want it! I'll do it myself if i
have to!! j/k

But seriously, ... make that font, dammit


 

Tekn010G from Australia on 2001-03-26 22:27 [#00001551]



thanxalot, I'm thinkin I'll make the capitals like the "a",
with their own feel and look, and the small letters like the
"e" with the "circled block with dots look,


 

XePhA88 from San Jose, CA on 2001-03-26 22:37 [#00001554]



cool, I'd love to get a copy of that font whenever it get's
made... that would be tight



 

Tekn010G from Australia on 2001-03-26 22:45 [#00001557]



I'll send it in to the custom section when I'm done ("if"
and "when" I get it done)


 

XePhA88 from San Jose, CA on 2001-03-26 22:47 [#00001558]



cool man, "if" and "when" you get it done, I know it will
spread like wildfire. I'd love to put it up on my website
if you don't mind... www.xepha88.com


 

Phobiazero from Sweden on 2001-03-26 22:48 [#00001559]



Thanks -- I'm actually having a "Misc Contributions"-section
which is not yet added to the new site. A font-package would
most likely fit into that category -- along with some
WinAmp-skins etc...


 

Tekn010G from Australia on 2001-03-26 22:53 [#00001560]



I would do winamp skins if I knew how, but unfortunately I
don't, can anyone give me the url of where one is (I could
find one If I looked, but I can't be bothered) and as for
the font, I can't buy stuff online, so I'd have to say I'm
gonna have to use Corel draw (urghhhh damn low budget)


 

nnychi from bakersfield.ca/seattle.wa on 2001-03-27 01:29 [#00001572]



thank you all for all the replies with the font thing. if
anyone makes a font and/or especially winamp skins of aphex,
id love em ; )


 

XePhA88 from San Jose, CA on 2001-03-27 02:17 [#00001577]



hey, Tekn010G, would corel draw 10 help at all? i don't
know if you have the latest version or not... photoshop6,
illustrator9, what? whatcha need? i'll getcha the software
if you just make that font. lemme know


 

Tekn010G from Australia on 2001-03-27 02:48 [#00001580]



well, I'm trying to download corel draw 10 now, but it's
only the shareware, If you can send me the full version It'l
sure help :)


 

ChemX from Miami, Florida on 2001-03-27 03:58 [#00001581]



Hey, Techn010G, you can find everything you need to know
about creating Winamp skins @
http://www.winamp.com/nsdn/winamp2x/dev/skins ~ Good Luck!


 

Tekn010G from Australia on 2001-03-27 04:32 [#00001582]



thanx, I guess I've got my week planned ahead of me then,


 

XePhA88 from San Jose, CA on 2001-03-27 06:24 [#00001588]



hrm... well I have it, but it is about 98 megs... hrmmm got
any ideas on how i can get that to you?


 

Tekn010G from Australia on 2001-03-27 06:52 [#00001589]



If you've got seven hours to spare you could transfer it
overnight?


 

Tekn010G from Australia on 2001-03-27 07:10 [#00001592]



It would probably ask for registration anyway so don't
bother sending it (I doubt you would have anyway, even if I
had asked :)



 

XePhA88 from San Jose, CA on 2001-03-27 07:55 [#00001598]



haha! it's a cracked version dood... i'm online right
now.. i can leave my computer on all night and I have a dsl
connection, so email me NOW if you want it.. heh


 

Tekn010G from Australia on 2001-03-27 08:02 [#00001600]



what program do you want to use to send it, ICQ?


 

XePhA88 from San Jose, CA on 2001-03-27 08:06 [#00001602]



yeah... icq me... 53595927 dear god, don't let me get

quernstone from padova on 2001-09-07 11:41 [#00030011]



I haven't read the whole string but, if you want inspiration
check the font on SAW II it comprises quite a few letters.

A dopo.

Well this isn't really what you wanted, but you can get the
ZX Spectrum font that he used on the Girl/Boy EP cover from
www.acidfonts.com, and you can also download a program to
create your own fonts from there...

I did a vector trace of the "A" logo in adobe illustrator.
Came out pretty well. I put it on stickers and stuff :-).
I don't really like the rest of the font. He should use
that sans serif typeface on the Come to Daddy LP for his
official font (helvetica it looks like). heh. Or maybe the
type on the Windowlicker LP.

designer....
