Quick question: Does anyone know what font they use for the Lost logo?

I cannot substantiate the ohnotheydidnt story about Britney wanting to televise her birth for charity. I would, however, chip in to pay her not to televise it.

I steal from aralinde like a stealing thing:

I live outside of Dallas, TX and I've been seeing a lot of hotel signs that are offering special rates for Hurricane Katrina refugees.

Thanks, y'all. I'm registered so I forgot all about that!

I just did a quick google for the Lost logo - and can't find it!? The tv-credits one, anyway, although it is probably something like Futura or Avante Garde in a light weight.

I think the one on the front of the DVD cover is Helvetica Condensed Black. I'm 95% certain, I work with all forms of Helvetica 7.5 hours a day every day.

I think, maybe... wow, I'm so helpful. :/

And why are there two different kinds of logotypes? BAD BRANDING PEOPLE, no donut.

ARGH I don't have any of those fonts--how do I not even have Helvetica? Damn. I've got Arial Black at the moment, so at least I'm on the san-serif track. Sigh.

I just looked at the Lost logo, and while violet_things seems to have a much better idea of fonts than I do, to the untrained eye, it looks like just plain Arial. I think your Arial Black would do fine.

ARRG I am sorry. I have all of them but of course they are for Mac.

Do you have... hmm... is it Century Gothic? That might be close to the light, open face that's used on the credits.

As a professional type-snob, I can't condone substituting Arial for Helvetica. But I know you are doing this for charity type stuff and will not call it out if you end up using it. ;)

Hey you...

I linked it in my own journal, but I have to say I was so damn proud of Tim Russert yesterday.

Here's a link to the transcript of him blasting Chertoff.

Actually, I can say that I'm proud to work for MSNBC right now. A good portion of our anchors and reporters are angry and refuse to sugar-coat anything. They're coming right out and asking WTF. Good on them for doing so.
