Guest Posted February 25, 2004 wouldn't it be a costum font? I doubt they used a standard one whats what theses advertising bods are payed loads to do ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stormseeker 0 Posted February 25, 2004 It was widely used on the Golf/Passat/Transporter etc. - I'd be suprised if it's not available somewhere... you just need to know what it's called... The later one used in the ads is called "VAG Rundschrift" - http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/urw/vag-rundschrift/ EDIT: that http://www.myfonts.com/ site has a "whatTheFont" section where you can upload images of single letters and it tries to match them to its database of fonts - anyone got a "Corrado" logo gif/jpg to cut up & upload?

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted February 25, 2004 AFAIK, the 'Corrado' script doesn't exist as a publically available font. So you'll need to make your own by scanning a badge and using something like Serif fontmaker, or similar. Or you could create individual letters as JPEGs in Paint shop or something. Quite a lot of work! K Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I managed to do a Scirocco Font, but never managed to get the Corrado one right somehow... Cool huh :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Musicman 0 Posted March 13, 2004 FWIW, the standard fonts used by VAG since 1996 are slightly modified versions of Futura known as Volkswagen Headline and Volkswagen Copy. http://www.fontfabrik.com/fofawor4.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Supercharged 2 Posted March 13, 2004 Tell me about it It's been driving me for about two years now trying to get that right... I managed to do a Scirocco Font, but never managed to get the Corrado one right somehow... I think James Shillaw was working on it and had got some of the letters done, just needed to fill in the gaps - not sure if he's had time to complete it?

corozin 0 Posted March 14, 2004 I have a font called "VAG Round" which is very similar to the "VAG Rundschrift D" font on that website link you posted. It cam with an old copy of Coreldraw. Email me direct if you want a copy (p.s. it's not the Corrado font) John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
