    You're an idiot - it is not that easy to just guess what the font is, there are thousands of different fonts.

    For $40, you can't expect someone to scroll through every single font.

    What is wrong with something almost exactly the same anyway?

    From what I see everyone is just using the original Marines images instead of using the font.
    I have identified the font as "Plantin"

    Why no one will match the font.... http://www.ascenderfonts.com/font/news-plantin-bold.aspx
    The original designer manually fooled with the r and any other letters he didn’t quite like, it’s a
    common practice. Many of the letters are an exact match if you take plantin bold and stretch it
    to 70% width, then skew it 17 degrees.

    No, the font is antiquia, i guess ... plantin has round "r" at the tip, the CH font has "sharp" at the edge.

    belfast heavy sf (using italics) matches with most the letters too. the curve on the lower case "a" is a bit to high & some of the walls are a bit thin. Hard font to pinpoint exactly without recreating it from scratch, but then there's no font file to go with it when done in vector from scratch either. :(

    I have to disagree... Antiqua has different "a,r,i,n" in any case, no one will find a perfectly matching Font.
    The font used is clearly a custom font job and manipulated. With Fonts the differences are very subtle.

    If you look closely at the bottom right shaft of the "A", you'll notice yours isn't rounded
    while the original is rounded.

    If you look closely at the bottom of the "n", you'll notice yours only has prongs
    on the outside of the right shaft of the "n", and the original has prongs on
    both sides.

    These aren't things which are manipulated, it's the font only.

    Okay guys, enough with the discussion, lets try to match it!

    [​IMG]

    I personally think it's one of those fonts, but bold and written with NO SPACE between the letters.

    Try that font you're using with "Italics" & it might just look perfect :)
