Hi all,
As you might know I've made a font based on the 'quattro' logo, designing
the missing characters myself. It's available for download on
http://members.tripod.lycos.nl/AudiJunk/
It was however a bit of a rush job, and several people have commented on
inaccuracies and inconsistencies in the font (in addition to my own
conclusions). I'm now working on v3.0, and would like your collective
remarks, etc. to help me improve the font.
Keep in mind that Audi themselves have used several different versions of
the quattro logo (different character widths, different radii etc.) over the
years, so my version is just an approximation. The numbers have been 100%
overhauled, the new ones have little in common with the current items. I'm
also working on improving accuracy of some characters.
I'm considering making a second version based on '80s badging (the black and
silver type) vs. the current chiseled chrome type. I've been collecting
badges for this purpose, and I now have almost every type made.
Now is your chance to help and vent your comments and preferences for
v3.0... I can make a .pdf version of the character set I'm working on now if
you're interested.
(Aspiring) typographers, please let me know!
Regards, Tom
