1:36 Drawings - Text and Logos
These are the fonts and logo images used in painted 1:36 drawings.About applying the images to the drawings:
- I use very large logo images in order to create smooth edges when the images are downsized.
- To preserve colours and shading, I convert images to 24-bit Bitmap files before downsizing.
- I trace most logos from photos.
- I use exact font matches whenever possible. They are listed here without images.
- If I find a font that's close but not exact, I modify the font.
- If I cannot find a close match, I either heavily modify a font or trace photos--or a combination of the two.
