I know we've discussed this before, but I wondered if anyone actually ever figured it out.

The name plates (stickers) on the sides of the boat, right under the windshield. I'm looking for that font. I now have all the original fonts and logos so I can begin getting things back to original versus some of the newer logos.

But I would like to get that font for those as well.

Anyone?

Sorry man, no help here. My Comp is pretty much naked except for the tag on the back for the "Official World Championship Towboat"

Haugy...we need a zip file of what you have. Share it up my man.

Once I get them all done and organized to spec, I'm hoping to have them all set so all you have to do is take them to your printer or whatever to get what you need.

I tried to figure it out, but the only way I can help is if I can get a shot of the letters perfectly straight on. I can find the font if I can get a good pic. I have resources that will tell you what the font is. Everything I have seen is from an angle. I can re-create it from an angled pic but cannot tell you exactly what font it is.

I would be interested in the lettering on a comp . Let me know what you find and maybe we can double the order and save a little.
I was going to tow the boat to the local sign shop and see what he could do next week.

Here is the font:

It looks like it's some variation of Carbaga Cursiva.

There we go!!! I know people that have been looking for this font for years.

Is it the Carbaga Cursiva? Or a variation of it?

It is close but still a variation. The Carbaga Cursiva font needs the highlights taken out of it but it is very close. I now have the font so any of you guys need anything done up just let me know!

Do you want the original comp style font or the same as the saltare font?

Not really sure, my boat was completely devoid of any vinyl so I have no idea really though I am thinking of getting all the vinyl redone down the road.
