Logo Sizes
Can someone who has an F guitar measure the actual height of the letter F and the overall width of the word that starts with F and ends in ender?
I am trying to mock up a Rabbitz logo but want it roughly the dimensions of the original.
I understand there are about 5 different F logo's but anyone will do for my purposes.
TIA
Rabz

Thanks ZM.
That gives me all the info I need.
The original spaghetti logo really appeals to me. Just a pity there is no F and no E in Rabbitz ;)

Also I was toying with "REPROCASTER" for the model name.

There is an actual Fender font you can download off the interwebz Rabbitz, try hunting around a bit if you haven't already. Logos look good!

Thanks, I actually got hold of that font after I knocked these together, I will experiment later. Brush Script MT does OK if you play with the kerning, tracking, baseline shift, mix fonts sizes, angles etc. (sounds a lot but isn't that hard in a vector program).
I found it here:

It looks like he has created and collected a collection of "corporate" fonts. Handy site.
The Reprocaster font is Myriad Pro - Adobe Illustrator defaults to this. It is the first time in 8 or 10 years I've actually used the default font in anger :)

OK I am hopeless, here it is in Fender Font.

If you compare it closely the only significant change is the hook on the R. The rest is exactly the same as Brush Script MT Italic. I think the only changes are to upper case and possibly lower case e.

Mmmm I do like Brush Script, I've used it on some stuff myself!

I read an interesting little note (not sure if its true or not) about the original spaghetti... apparently it's just Leo's handwriting with the "F" flipped backwards
