Daddy Dee Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 O.K. I'm in creative mode and looking for an old logo to scan. It's the one with the all lower case "klipsch" on top with an underscore, then "A Legend In Sound" beneath. If anyone might have this, or be able to scan an older brochure or piece of literature, I'd sure appreciate your sending it to me. I'm thinking it can be done in a reasonable size file. about 300 dpi in jpg. Just black and white would work fine. Thank you. Thank you. example of logo on black jacket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00n Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Daddy, if you know the fonts, duplicating it would be a snap in something like Photoshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Reed Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 I just know I have that somewhere... I'll look. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpg Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Hey, while we're on the subject of old logos, does anyone have scans of the old (70's-ish) Lord of the Rings promo t-shirts? I saw a Frodo one for sale on eBay once, but missed the end of the auction... I heard that there were others in the collection as well. Any photos by chance?

Daddy Dee Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 Tony, thanks. m00n, I've been looking at that. The lower case "klipsch" looks like arial black, bold maybe. The bottom line looks similar to Times New Roman, but it is taller. Thanks for the thought. I don't know what they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Dee, It looks like the Arial might be correct, but the bottom text doesn't fit Times. Look at the serifs (feet) on the different characters. Especially the 'S' in Sound. Can't tell very well from the pic you posted. Dont' forget, that someone doing the layout would be able to stretch a font (or squeeze horizontally) to make it match the name 'klipsch'. Look at the pic below. It is using Arial Black for the top and Garamond for the bottom. It isn't a match, but the bottom is closer than Times. It is also a screen shot, so it's a little ragged.

Daddy Dee Posted August 15, 2005 Author Share Posted August 15, 2005 Thanks Marvel. That looks pretty close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Reed Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Well... so far I haven't come up with anything. Still looking. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedball Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Daddy Dee, .......I would consider buying a jacket like that if it were available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Gil, That helped a LOT! I used two Bitstream fonts. Zurich BlkEx for the top and Goudy Old Style for the bottom. The Goudy matches perfectly. I used Arial for the TM and registered mark. Notice I kerned the type, tightening the left to right letter spaces. The period is the diamond shape as in the graphic Gil posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted August 15, 2005 Author Share Posted August 15, 2005 Marvel, Thanks for knocking that out. Looks good. If this little creative adventure turns out decently, I'll let you know what I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I noticed that I didn't get the L and e close enough together. If you need this in a specific dpi, etc, let me know and I'll make it and psot it somewhere that you can download it. BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted August 20, 2005 Author Share Posted August 20, 2005 Marvel, Thanks. I didn't notice your last post. If you'd be available to do that, I'd certainly appreciate it. I'm hoping for a 300dpi file. My sincerest thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted August 20, 2005 Author Share Posted August 20, 2005 Speedball, Yes, I agree. These would sell like hotcakes if Klipsch offered them for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anakin26 Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Have you got what you need yet? If not, I think I can provide you with the 300dpi file. I run an advertising agency here in Austria. We do things like that all the time. I would actually recommend an illustrator file which will be a "pathed" file that can be scaled to any size you need without quality loss. Let me know if yes. I will see if one of my employees can do that for you real quick. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
