Hi folks.
I've been looking everywhere, and I can't find this typeface. I am working on a catalogue for school and I need to match the company's logo:

Do any of you know? I would greatly appreciate any help.
Thanks.

looks kind of like Balmoral?
I haven't lost my mind... it's backed up on disk somewhere.

If all you have to do is match the Vex logo, instead of spending all this time searching for the font and then messing with tracking and kerning.
Don't you think it would be alot faster to just take your pen tool in Illustrator and redraw the logo. It would take about 15 mintues maybe 45 if your a beginner

in the event that you need the font for further text formatting go to
http://dafont.com/en/theme.php?cat=601&page=1&nb_ppp=40&text=Vex
the font is called Elegant and i am quite positive that the little teardrop inside the stoke of the V was not a part of the font, but built later. if that link doesnt take you directly there, go to http://www.dafont.com
ciao. good luck!

this is why i always find these posts funny, however I could see them wanting to know the name if they had to do a whole paragraph or long sentence in that font...but yeah, just trace it if you can.
im also moving this thread into the proper section.... *General*

A whole paragrah would be a designers nightmare
Readability would be an issue

Oooh!! I finally decided. I will name it 'Steve'.
'Steve the typeface'. It has a nice ring to it, don'tcha think?
I haven't lost my mind... it's backed up on disk somewhere.
Excellent choice morea... I think Steve will be the winner for todays game of... name that typeface!!!
You know how many times I have traced logos? Too many to even begin to count... you could look through a zillion fonts if you could and it'd take you days!!!
I actually just got my first contract for my business... doing just that... turning yucky 72dpi RGB files into vector images... FUN!!! Seriously, Fun!!! :)
Don't dunk the cat in the water!
