Rubicon font and how to make it

Recommended Posts

I don't know the font.

 

In a vector program, (inkscape, coreldraw, illustrator,)  the easiest way to give it what your calling two colors is to add a stroke or outline.  Then, convert the stroke/outline into an object, path or curve.  Alternatively, you could use offset or in Draw the contour function.  You also might just be able to duplicate it, make it slightly larger, give it another color and center behind the orginal text.

Remember this is a REGISTERED logo so be careful about how it is used...as in personal use only or you might find yourself in a situation. 

 

As dcbevins said: Add a stroke and expand to make the red and black separate objects. Create registration marks to line the two colors up and tape the black to apply on top the red.

A quick google search found the jkowners forum where a guy has a link to an ai file with the alphabet in the Rubicon style. Several on that forum have used the ai to create custom jeep decals for their vehicles.

Another guys says the font is ITC Eras Bold and then modified. He says take the curve out of the straight lines, take the slant out of the letters and stretch the result. Apparently he has done this and will sell you a custom decal but wont' share the font.

the rubicon picture and the font/ brandoftheworld logo that are linked to are two different logos, they are for older rubicons. Been looking for the new font in the photograph for a while.
