What font was used for ALF?
Anyone know what font was used to type the ALF trademark that became synonymous with the franchise?

Re: What font was used for ALF?
Not sure what a "vector" is, I'm afraid I'd like to use the same font for different letters than A L and F.

Re: What font was used for ALF?
It looks like a pretty common sort of font... *studies it closely*

Re: What font was used for ALF?
ALF vector converted to JPG. I have little clue how to define a vector...Mark?
I would assume they can have different dimensions (one-dimensional, two-dimensional, etc.) - with the ALF vector you could probably put it on a grid and set coordinates for the lines/curves and things like that. Am I in the ballpark?

Re: What font was used for ALF?
Yes that's correct, almost every logo on any product is hand drawn in Illustrator using a vector graphic. As it's not pixel based like a jpeg you don't loose any resolution so it can scaled really easily without loosing quality or becoming a massive file.
That vector file of the ALF logo could go on a huge billboard or an ALF pen!
Hope that helps

Re: What font was used for ALF?
