Yeah, anyone know what font they use for the filco decal on the keyboards?

Thanks, you mean this one? http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=All+About+Keys

I don't seem to be able to find the font mentioned. I don't mean the font of the keys, but literally the "filco" logo on the keyboard.

I have about 10,000 fonts from doing commercial design work. Let me trawl through them and see if I come up with anything.

neuropol was the closest font that I have, but not a match. I have a font called filco olde style. That was not even remotely close.

The closest MS-Word font is Gulim.

Thanks for checking guys, neuropol does come really close. I found another one that matches a bit more: Korataki Regular

On a related note. Does anyone know if removing that logo would be reasonably easy?
Looks identical to to the leopold one I found a pic of:

Perhaps heating the adhesive up a bit with a hair dryer and pushing it to loosen it up?

Looks a bit like this font. Don't know if there's capitals but check the "o" "L" and "c"

^There you go. Reverse the seven and extend the bottom arm, make the I solid and it's perfect.

Oh they didn't use adhesives, that's nice. I thought they'll opt for a cheaper and easier mold for the case.
I also didn't know that elitekeyboards doesn't ship those leopold stickers. Lame.

I thought the Leopold badge only came with the limited edition keycaps? No logo is a 'feature' on the Leopold.

HaveANiceDay · « **Reply #11 on:** Mon, 04 July 2011, 11:40:31 »

Makes you wonder why they try to take that "feature" away with those keycaps :)

I like the no logo clean look of my leopold

Sorry to ask, but is there a community issue with Elitekeyboards or is everyone joking? It seems like everyone picks on them.
