terrano font

R1cho · 21-04-2011, 15:15

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

no ideas on the font the badge is in then

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?

R1cho · 22-04-2011, 11:58

this one

lacroupade · 22-04-2011, 12:22

Ah OK, cos the MkIII is different again.

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

R1cho · 22-04-2011, 12:36

can't its top secret lol i have a dent in the bonnet from rear ending a transit van i popped the dent out but the paint cracked

so am going to paint a black stipe over the front and have terranoii in silver writing over it but wanted it in the same font as the badge

What about a big NISSAN like they put on some other models?

R1cho · 29-05-2011, 00:30

got a font making program thingy, soon as i work it out i'll make the bugger myself

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
