Does anyone know the font GT used for the 84-85 pro performers?

I want to make custom stickers for my new school bike kinda like the GT show from rockford.

You cant make the GT SHOW decals i own the rights to them. Actually the owner of the bike does but I have production DIBS!! thank you please move along!

LOL^^^

1niceharo i see you used the old JEDI MIND TRICK...
nice touch...lol

can this person make what he wants for himself as long as he doesnt sell them? just wondering

no copy rited items can still be considered illegal

No, I don't want to sell them and I never said I was going to copy the "Show". I only used the "Show" as an example "just like".

I have a crome KGB frame that would look nice with old style GT type decals with KGB instead of the GT lettering and instead of Performer I would put the KGB frame name.

That's all no harm in that right? Just a retro new school I would like to see that's all.

Better yet..can someone tell me who can make them for me?

As with most fonts used in commercial products(much like my own business') they are proprietary or one-off fonts made specifically for their products or company logo.

If you're lucky someone would have copied the original font and made a complete set of fonts for it. Trying to find a font is like searching for a needle in a stack of needles. There are websites out there with HORDES of font libraries. Some are free, some are able to be purchased.

I'm guessing the GT font was an imalgamation of several different fonts (much like most are) and could be copied by a graphic artist (like Lee) without too much trouble. I caution you however.......

Copyright law (and all intellectual property for that matter) is formed the instant something original is put on paper. It doesn't require any kind of formal registration prior to the printing - which is suprising to most people. Now, if you've trademarked your name and company logo - that's different.

All copyright infringement is actionable by the person who retains the rights to said intellectual property. Action can be taken by a person acting as an agent of the property owner as well.

The way around this challenge to to obtain actual licensed authority to create reproductions that meet or exceed the property owner's own standards for quality and similarity to the originals.

Then you pay a fee for the use of said intellectual property (here it's a font and logo) on a pay-as-you-go binding contract.

OR you could just create the stickers and sell them and face the penalty stemming from your wanton disregard of "cease and dissest" orders!

Good luck my friend!

Thanks for the great info Chevron Envy...I just made a deal with someone who has the fonts used by GT and they're willing to cut me some decals. The decal will be used for my personal keeping and not to be shown or used by anyone else. Thanks for the help though.
