cjs 14 Posted July 20, 2016 Would anyone know what fonts are close to the McCormick Farmall logo from the 60's? Had a last minute request to make up a sign for a friends tractor they just finished restoring and are taking to its first show this week. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cjs 14 Posted July 20, 2016 That's the font I am looking for, just the text not the ih logo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cal 393 Posted July 20, 2016 I recently did some glasses for a friend with the Farmall. My notes said *Blubalin Graph Demi & cleaned up* I think I found the IH on botw Hope this helps, Cal I cannot seem to post pics since the change up. This pic (that I tried to post) was resized to 89kb. All I get is a pop up telling me the pic size is limited to 1003.52kb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're kind of a loose canon so they're keeping a tight reign on you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmmm, nothing found on Google on "Blubalin", there is a "lubalin" font but it is not even close.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cal 393 Posted July 21, 2016 Went to my fonts library and looked. It is listed as B Lubalin Graph Demi. It is large block letters with serifs. It was easy to remove the serifs and left me with a close approximation of the lettering. Resized pic to 48 kb... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darcshadow 1,626 Posted July 21, 2016 Noveo Sans Black is pretty close to Farmall, the middle line of the F is a tad to long, and the legs of the L need to be a little longer, but the A, R, and M look pretty good. Objektiv MK3 Black is a pretty close match to McCormick although the M and C will need work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,450 Posted July 22, 2016 LUBALIN ? That's a Serif font. I don't see why Franklin Gothic Bold (installed font within SignBlazer) can't be used. (You have to realize FARMALL "M" has a pointed bottom middle, not squared-off flat, so that would have to be node-edited) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cal 393 Posted July 23, 2016 Slice, I did a search on Identi-font without any good hits. Therefore, *you run what you brung*, I looked through my font library to find something I could use (I do not have SB). I do not think it took more than 15-20 minutes for me to shed the serifs and get it presentable. Cal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
