(answered) Bluelight Font

[Albion]

Hi, I was working on the bluelight merchandise task that Ocean asked for, and I have a couple of ideas but would like to realise them in photoshop, with the bluelight colours and font. The colours I can grab from the site, but could someone please tell me what font is used for the 'BLUELIGHT' in the banner? Many thanks!

No idea, sorry. That might be a TLB question.

Just use Comic Sans.

I'm sure nobody will notice. :D

Oh god, anything but comic sans!

my best guess - assuming the font is free is: ncc1701a

here's a link: http://www.ffonts.net/NCC1701A-Regular.font

here's a simple preview using the word "BLUELIGHT":

here's a mock-up i threw together in a minute using similar colours and the same typeface:

pretty close, i think.

Wow, that's pretty damn accurate Alasdair...Nice one, thankyou

 

[alasdairm]

one thing. in my original post, i said the blue mock-up was in bold. it's not, it's regular weight.

more specifically, the ncc-1701a (or enterprise a) appeared in the 4th through 6th movies (the voyage home, the final frontier and the undiscovered counytry).

ncc-1701d is my favourite

Funny, we never uncovered our mutual love for STARTREK in conversation. However, when I first saw your font, another one of my greatest life pursuits came to mind:

I actually love the idea that our font would bear (no pun intended) similarities to both Startrek and Radiohead. Nice work!

Now I must return to the holodeck to battle the Gorn Captain simulation with a Klingon Jem'Hadar polearm. Admin Headquarters certainly has it's benefits.
