Does anyone know what the font Kawasaki used for the logo on the earlier Zed tank badges is called?

As per your Facebook post Ralph. Ping me your email if you want a copy. Tell me which format you'd want it in.

So the answer to what font is it is?

We're all curious

Gus

It's not a font it's a logo.

Hi Warren

I was wondering as the design of the Kawasaki Big K would be a logo if the smaller type face was an actual font?

I swear I've seen the dimensions for the big K in a book somewhere but can't remember.

I'm OLD

Hi Gus, graphic design and graphic artwork was my bread and butter for 40 odd years until I sold my company.
Perhaps logo wasn't the correct term, maybe graphic would better describe it.
There are literally thousands of fonts but none that match the kawasaki logo/graphic.
The file I sent to Ralph was an graphic artwork file that I created from the Kawasaki Web site text.
If anyone wants a copy I can converted to an editable pdf that anyone could use to create vinyls or printed material.

Crack out Fontographer - it still exists apparently - and knock one up for something to do.

thanks Chris but a fleet of Kawasaki's and Ducati's keep me busy enough thanks. I'm supposed to be retired but seem to have less free time now than i ever did before.

Hi Warren.

Would you mind if I have a copy please?

I have some tinkering I would like to try.

Many thanks

Gus

Hi Gus,

Hutch sells Tank Badges on eBay - his name on eBay is Bits n Bobs.
