Another chrome logo!

This one appeared on the cover of a soundtrack album by 'The Now Sound Orchestra' and also included music from Star Wars, Close Encounters and 2001: A Space Odyssey in a 'contemporary' style. [🧵]

prepare the lettuce

Star Wars Fonts @starwarsfonts.bsky.social · 28d

common misconception! Jedi is actually of greek origin, not latin, and was originally Jedis (which looks plural in english, so the s was dropped) making the plural Jedids or Jedes

Ed Can Do @edcando.bsky.social · 29d

Ok, but if the title is just referring to Luke, rather than the order in general, surely the movie should be called Return of the Jedus?

ohhhhhhh

the opening crawl of return of the jedi. a circle is around luke skywalker and is pointing to JEDI in the title. another circle is around the word “returned” and is pointing to RETURN in the title. the arrows cross

New font for sale!

NABOUVEAU is an art nouveau typeface inspired by the planet and people of Naboo.

crowntype.com/nabouveau/

Carved in wood: "NABOUVEAU." Below, painted on lush maroon curtains: "Art nouveau for a galaxy far, far away...." The text is then repeated in in the Naboo Futhork alphabet.

MICROGRAMMA or EUROSTILE? A handy guide for you to print out and keep in your wallet.

MICROGRAMMA interior corners are usually flattened whereas EUROSTILE interior corners come to a point. The more you know!

also what is this item

Star Wars Fonts @starwarsfonts.bsky.social · Sep 11

what year is this supposed to be from? TRILOGY looks to be the same as in the SE branding, and the C looks like a helvetica or univers or something extra extra bold, probably squished. and it looks insane next to the H

my hand slipped! for like a whole hour but it slipped

DROIDS (1985)
just like ewoks, droids' end credits are set in AVANT GARDE DEMI

Star Wars Fonts @starwarsfonts.bsky.social · Sep 7

DROIDS (1985)
the episode titles are set in SERIF GOTHIC BOLD, a font family that made a resurgence 30 years later in the branding for the sequel trilogy

DROIDS (1985)
and another happy 40th to droids, whose main title seems to be fully custom (or at least based on a font i've never found), but whose subtitle is GROTESQUE NO. 9 ITALIC (with LUCASFILM being set in what looks like NEWS GOTHIC with numbers from AKZIDENZ-GROTESK)

EWOKS (1985)
the end credits are set in AVANT GARDE DEMI, a staple in the 80s and 90s eras of star wars media

Star Wars Fonts @starwarsfonts.bsky.social · Sep 7

EWOKS (1985)
episode title cards are set in HOBO EXTRA BOLD, similar but very distinct to the font used for the show title

Star Wars Fonts @starwarsfonts.bsky.social · Sep 7

EWOKS (1985)
happy 40th to the animated ewoks, whose title is set in a slightly altered PUTTY BOLD (with LUCASFILM being set in FUTURA BOOK)

i messed up and identified some star trek fonts by accident. @starfleetdesign.bsky.social was kind enough to not yell at me and tell me to stay in my lane

Credit to @starwarsfonts.bsky.social for likely solving some of the bigger mystery fonts from earlier ☝️ in this thread.

The vintage NBC logo closely resembles BENGUIAT EPHRAM ARISTALIC while the James Blish cover logo seems to be GUSTAV MONOGOTHIC or RHEIN GUSTAV GOTHIC.
