Thanks to a guy I know who works for a Graphic Designer I was able to get the fonts for no charge. They are extremely close to the original Rick has. Only a few letters may need to be adjusted. Rick has already provided me with some feedback in comparison to his original and perhaps he will jump in here as well.
Pictured below is a scan of the latest draft I have done (scan is larger than actual size). Colour is not finalized as yet, but it is the easiest thing to adjust. The small print at the bottom is virtually dead on. A few letters in the large print probably need some alterations – primarily A, C, G, M, and W. For example, I have already condensed horizontally the C in the word Caution bringing it more in line with the original. The C’s in the other large text have not been changed as yet. I am not 100% sure of the spacing and alignment just yet. This will be able to be confirmed once I receive a copy of the one being sent to me by the “mystery man”. Special thanks to him. Unfortunately the one thing I will not be able to adjust will be the underlines. There should be a little more space between the underline and the text. I do not have any software to accomplish that task. This will not be marketed in the true sense of the word. I do not want to cut the grass of the guy in Florida who is marketing these, nor our “mystery man” who provides some to others as a gesture. It will be approached based on Greg’s earlier suggestion about a donation to SYC. If I can get it close enough to satisfy myself (perhaps others may not be satisfied – can’t win them all I guess) then I will likely sell them for about $5 including mailing to members on here (so many have already expressed interest) with $2 going to SYC. If I get them professionally printed then that price may go up a buck or two. We are still a ways away from a final draft. If SYC feel all this is inappropriate then I will basically do one for myself. So, why am I doing this and putting so much time into it? I enjoy fiddling with this stuff and try to help the hobby in my own little way I guess. I also detest incorrect reproductions. Mine may not end up to be a perfect match, but it should be very, very close. Fire away gang, let me know what you think. Appreciate it ![]()
