Balazs 911

Hi there,

I am trying to find what font Carrera is written with on the back of my car.
I have used the search function and might be blind or something but I dont find it.
I would like to write Jensen with the same font. Can anyone please help?

Regards,

Balazs

I have searched for this before. The script seems to be copyrighted, but there are some similar ones out there.

Balazs, the Carrera type is not actually a font ... It is simply a Logo designed for Porsche.

I to have searched all the font databases for this type in the past and it doesn't exist but as Bart states there are similar ones out there

fwiw, I have a MFA from a well-known art school with a well known design program. I took a font class for fun (I wasn't in the design program; I was in film/photo.) The Porsche font is Porsche News Gothic and, of course, is proprietary. I'm not sure what the Carrera font is, but I could find out from designer friends.....

The font is a derivative of standard News Gothic which is derived from Franklin Gothic. If you are seriously interested look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin_Gothic
and here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News_Gothic

No doubt you'll find someone's copy of the Porsche font on the web somewhere. There's usually no harm in using it for personal use, but not for your webpage, or any commercial use, etc...

I have done about a 2 hour search, tedious and exhaustive. PAG has this locked down. It looks like at one time someone had it available at some point called "Porsche Script" (good discussion on the topic)

You can get this company to do something for you, they must have it> http://www.nameyourporsche.com/

If you truly want one, you can make one in Illustrator. I'd do one, but hey, it's a hell of a lot easier to just buy it (decal, etc.) then to sit down and do it from scratch.

The OP should hire a designer to do his/her "Jensen" Carrera script thing, or just try do it themselves...

www.nameyourporsche.com as I saw in Total 911 magazine would be your best bet! Expensive though...
