Q. Dear Oracle: what is the name of the font on the new single's cover? Is it even a font, or perhaps something hand-designed?

 

sincerely,

a budding graphic designer.

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

It's basically a modified bubble font of which there are many variants.

Were create the COLDPLAYING.COM Font ? it´s the same Font ?

The cover and the font used is the only thing I dislike about ETIAW

jbarry5503 made the banner, so you could send her a PM and ask her.

i was the one who asked that question. ive searched high and low on the internet and cant find anything closely resembling that font. i shall keep looking though

I too needed the font and also failed to find anything suitable on the internet so I took the plunge and, despite having never done it before, went ahead and created the font. It's my first font and is all from scratch so please forgive me if it's not 100% accurate, but I'm pretty pleased with the results.

 

A few notes: -

 

1) Despite the excellent coverage of the alphabet in the three song covers, the letters B, H, K, Q, X, Z are not present in anything they've released thus far so I've had to make those 6 up. I'm pretty happy with what I came up with apart from the H. As soon as they release further material that contains these letters (Hurts Like a Heaven for a single please!) I'll amend the font.

 

2) I've only done upper case A-Z, no lower case, no numbers and no special characters. I may add numbers in the future.

 

3) The font is a solid font as this is more flexible for my requirements. You can use it as an outline in graphics applications but if there is enough demand for an outline version I will create one.

 

4) I've not done the teardrop, eye nor the exhaust fumes but may also add them if it proves desirable to people.

 

It's free to distribute so share away!

Any and all feedback is welcome.

thanks!! Oh, how can i make it the letters as an outline only? like the original in which the background or the graffiti wall can be seen?

It really depends on the software in which you're using the font. I made it solid because I'll be using it in graphics apps like Photoshop and you can set the text to be outline only. I don't think you can do the same in something like Microsoft Word. It was quicker to make the font solid rather than outline only and more flexible for me as I can use it as outline only or solid this way. If there's enough demand though, I will make an outline only version.

i figured out how to make it but i used the 'darken' option for the layer in photoshop. i don't know how to set the text as outline only.

I can't remember how to do it in Photoshop off the top of my head and I don't have Photoshop installed here at work so I'll have to wait until I get home to provide you with an answer.

oh, its okay. don't bother. sorry for disturbing you. anyway, here's my attempt on a 'hurts like heaven' cover

Nice :) Looks good! I like the arrow in the I :) Out of interest, how did you do the graffiti background?

matti that is really good! i hope you dont mind but i sent it in to the oracle cuz they have to see that. maybe the oracle can show it to the guys. who knows? they might want to use it which you should be proud of. :)

I'm glad you like it..sure, i don't mind MrClimatize... i got the graffiti background from a wallpaper site. i also made covers for charlie brown and us against the world. just let me know if you guys want to see it. :)

Well done :thumbsup:

Nother One

 

How low, guys.

 

I've not found Wayne's version earlier so I endend creating myself the font also.

 

It has contours and those symbols already used on the releases.

 

If you find it useful... http://www.dafont.com/every-truetype-is-a-wisefont.font?fpp=50

Wow matti, those covers are really good! Nice job :)

I think the font is called 'Boogie Outline 3'

Some websites are charging like £20 and £70 for it. Absolute, unjustifiable madness.
