A bit random, but I've got a new double garage and I want to replicate the TVR logo on the back wall

Does anyone happen to have a breakdown of the dimensions of the font?

I'm looking to have it circa 180cm wide

You can download the logo here as an SVG (scalable vector graphic). So it's infinitely scalable and will look sharp at any size.

Hum, thought I had it as eps but it's corrupted.

According to this thread in 2005, Big Al said the font is Galliard itallic bold

Work in progress, but in the absence of being able to buy the old showroom 3D TVR logo, I'm having a go at replicating it myself for the garage wall :0)
Mine will measure about 135cm x 50cm
Image traced from a flag onto some plastic sheeting and then copied onto the hardboard sheet
Next step, is to cut out the sections that will eventually be for the purple plastic sheet to be visible through it
I'll then get to work on the 3Dness...

Initial cut out would make a great stencil. Just paint it all over the garage walls biggrin

That is Epic.
How much would it cost to buy one off you?
