Do any of you know what the font is called in the image below?  It's almost like Arial Rounded, but a little "fuller."

This is so far from being right, but it was the best I could do. I thought I had every font known to man on my computer so I went though every one of them and the closest one I found was a font called "Franklin Gothic Heavy". It looked like this...


Then I did what I could to make it look closer to yours with the limited knowledge I have of photoshop... and came up with this...


The best I can figure is that the font either doesn't exist, or it just doens't exist on my computer! Wink
Sorry I couldn't help more...

Thanks for looking.  Every font known to man, huh? ':p'
 I'm actually working on something from an old photograph.  It's from a sign that was made during the era of the Trash-80 and Commodore 64 so I doubt I will find an exact match since it wasn't made on a computer, but I'd like to find something close. ':cool:'

Oh man I remember the Commodore 64s! Good times!
You know, as popular as the 80s were they may even make an "80s font" someday..
Good luck! What are you working on by the way? Got any good photos? '<img'>

Last night I was looking through some old arcade pictures and saw the sign below.  I was thinking about making one for my gameroom.
