The + signs are fine but the yellow one is shorter then the other 2.  I guess so it's not to overshadow the red & blue ones I guess.

That's why I made it like that. I made them a little huge, admittly. And the thing they're mounted on isn't my best work. I still like #2, though.

On your original question, the font of the trilons was Rockwell Bold Condensed. (I saw it in an ad for a typesetter once.)

Anyone know where I can get Helvetica & Rockwell Bold Condensed for free? I tried searching, but they want me to pay for them. I ain't gonna do it!

 Close, but not quite.  It was Stymie Black Condensed.  Both are square serif fonts, but Rockwell Bold Condensed has a serif over the capital A while Stymie Black Condensed doesn't (as didn't the WoF trilons of that era).  The other difference is there were three serifs over the capital W in Rockwell Bold Condensed, while there were only two in Stymie Black Condensed.

As far as I can tell (using Google), I cannot find any font service that has Stymie Black Condensed available for download.  But it is out there, somewhere.
