"Starcade" credits font
« on: July 21, 2004, 05:03:06 PM »
Does anyone know the name of/where I can get the font used in the Starcade credits? I need it for a site I'm working on.

It's very similar if not identical to the font on the bottom of this license plate, where it says "North Carolina":

Hmmmm.......I have 2500 fonts in my computer, and I'm not sure if I have this one.  I know it's pretty standard since TBS used it for its' old WCW show.

I have a similar font on my computer called Madison Avenue. It's not as bold, however.
There are three things I've learned never to discuss with people: Religion, politics, and the proper wrapping of microphone cables.

 Ah, that's it! Make it bold and you've pretty much got the font.

Thanks!

 I believe the actual font name is Advertising Gothic.

Here's a sample from the Infinitype website.  It's a little bolder than the font on the license plate, but looks like it a little more than the more commonly available light version (which I saw on Fonts.com as "Advertising Gothic Light").
