rafaelchampion Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 With the new Live 2012 promo site (http://live2012.coldplay.com/home.php) Coldplay stopped using images with the MX font and started using the font itself on the webpage. They've called it "ETIAW_V4" IMPORTANT: The font they're using IS Teco's (Coldplaying user) font, but they seem to have modified it a bit. For those who want to download the "Official" font used in their website, I've managed to download it and convert it to a windows-recognizable type font. Here it goes: http://www.mediafire.com/?kflmwb51rksy342 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prospector Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 ^ WTF? They copied the copy made by Teco? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tash Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 WTF? They copied the copy made by Teco? That sounds a bit unlikely :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafaelchampion Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 ^But it's true. Even the "Y" kerning that's a bit wrong in Teco's font is a bit wrong in Coldplay's too. Furthermore Teco provided us the Font for free. Technically it could be used by them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be REALLY weird if they actually used his font :freak: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafaelchampion Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 http://www.dafont.com/every-truetype-is-a-wisefont.font The font I posted is different from this font. This font has the song symbols and the "0" is Major Minus Eye. The font I posted doesn't have the song symbols and the "0" is a black ball.

rafaelchampion Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 Le fuck? This would be REALLY weird if they actually used his font :freak: It really is but I guess it's true =/ Teco's last version of the font was "ETIAW_v3" and the one I downloaded from the website is called "ETIAW_v4" :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafaelchampion Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 I'm not underrating Teco's work, actually I love the font he did but when I saw they were using and actual font at the website, I was happy we would have and official one. I can't hide, however I got a bit disappointed when I finally downloaded it and discovered it was not made by them =/ Should I take this situation and ask Teco to work on the font again to correct some Kerning problems and make the angular parts of the letters more roundy?:dozey: (Please! ETIAW_V5!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ediskrad73 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 i can't say im all that surprised - why convert a font to a webfont if somebody's already done 90% of the work? either way, thanks for the find, nice to finally have the "official" version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teco Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Lol, guys, this is f'n incredible. :laugh3: I'm very pleased about having my copy copied by Coldplay instead of being sued by them. (That's the further I would ever expect.) Anyways, I don't really dig the idea of editing the font once again as mentioned before. :( I've spent a whole lot of weeks of 2011 doing so, it was nice and all, but it is exhausting as hell and I do not even have the softwares I used by the time anymore.
