Rep Power: 10  | I THINK it's Arial Black, italicized. Arial is very common, but the italic throws most folks. I've been making DVDs of the shows and I can't tell it from the original logo. |

You could fudge some areas to get the spinning wheel without the Top Gear text I suppose. I'll see if I can make it without the text. 8)

Car: '07 Mini Cooper S Rep Power: 7 | There's a clone version of Helvetica Neue called Helonia Neue... just Google it, but it's shareware so you'll only get one weight of the font most likely.  |

Car: Chevrolet Silverado Rep Power: 19 | http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/4...logoishpp0.png That shouldn't be too hard to play with in Photoshop. I had to make it a raster 'cos otherwise it would've just reverted to arial or whatever. Also, fun facts about the fonts discussed: Helvetica is Swiss It's also used on Apple computers There's a documentary about it and it's a favourite among typographers. Arial is a cheap ripoff of helvetica commisioned/developed? by Microsoft because they didn't want to pay for the Helvetica rights |
