Default terrano font

does anyone know what font the terrano badge is written in? also whats the legality of having chrome lettering on your bonnet? is it allowed or is it a no no because of dazzleing other road users?

Youre being too thoughtful, I wouldnt worry about it from a con & use perspective

Best way to look a badges and emblems is are they pedestrian friendly ? stick on letters no prob. Only things like those aftermarket bonnet mascots tat would impale someone could be a problem

Just google free fonts....there are loads of sites where you can peruse and download stuff that would be a close fit I'm sure.

I'm going to put a set of giant antlers - sharpened - on my bonnet and drive down Abingdon Street at 90mph to see what I can skewer....

This link isn't bad - its about 1200 sans serif fonts....if you click on the name of the font it takes you to a screen where you can type in the text you want and even resize it a bit to see what it would look like.

But I suspect they probably had the logo designed specially.

And what badge are you looking to copy, I think they changed a bit over the years?

Ah OK, cos the MkIII is different again.

Care to tell us what you are wanting to plaster across your bonnet?

If you just want a copy of the badge in cut vinyl it would be dead easy for me to produce one from a photo, the vinyl machine doesn't car if its a font or a graphic
