Default Alternate Font Suggestions, please!

Hi all,

A client kind of likes the attached font, so I'm trying to dig out some variations on it for us to start forming a logo.

Can anyway suggest fonts similar to this one? It's Sleepy Hollow, btw, from dafont.com.

Just out of interest, if your client likes it why don't you use it? Copyright issues?

Yeah, copyright is an issue. Mostly though, the client KIND OF likes it. So I need to explore around it, really.

Can't think of many tbh, but probably best to get 3 different fonts and then see which they like best.

Not sure if I'm barking up the wrong tree with these but:

Chinese Calligraphy Font | dafont.com
Dist Inking Font | dafont.com
Apocalypse Font | dafont.com

You may have to get in touch with the authors to make sure they're ok for commercial use.

Hope I've put you in the 'write' direction.......sorry

Many thanks for your suggestions, C. Apocalypse is pretty cool, ta.

After a talk with the client today, my next step, I think, is to actually draw up something from more-or-less scratch.

Out with the graphics tablet!

Good luck with it - hope they're happy in the end.

One of my hates is "I don't really know if I like it, I don't know what I want to be honest" I don't know shouldn't exist lol

As I say, good luck

I know just what you mean, Curtis! Thanks mate. I'm pretty confident about cracking it though, thank goodness (famous last words!).

Hey - you're in Hull. I just picked up a new client there. Web dev though, not graphics. It was their graphics guy put me on to them.

Cool. Hope that goes well for you - had some trouble with people in my area (not bad trouble lol) just that often they expect things to be cheaper than they are. And I consider my prices to be fairly cheap.

But if they're graphics themselves, should be fine
