References: AKEEKJILDKFCCMNOPEPDEEKDDJAA.Mike@Geary.com Message-ID: <44E5A80B.609@gmail.com> Really sorry to bother you, but I was wondering what font was used in the final official python.org logo, the "powered by python" logo, the "python.org trac" logo, etc. I've found references in the mailing list archives to "Opus" and "opus/officana", but only referring to out-of-date candidates for the logo, and I wasn't able to locate any fonts by that name on the web (with google). The closest thing was a font family called "ITC Officina". The Sans and Display versions are very similar, but the version in the logo seems to have pieces removed from the "p", "n", "r" and "d" in a consistent fashion, and the "y" is rounded rather than angular. I very much prefer the variant used in the logo. Could you please tell me where you found/bought it, and what it's called? I assume because of the similarity that it's a licensed variant of Officina, but if it's a custom knockoff, could I perhaps have a copy? Thanks.

The PSF owns a copy but we can't distribute it unless you're creating designs on the PSF's behalf, to be hosted on python.org. - Stephan From altis at semi-retired.com Mon Aug 21 04:22:07 2006 From: altis at semi-retired.com (Kevin Altis) Date: Sun, 20 Aug 2006 19:22:07 -0700 Subject: [Pydotorg-redesign] Font used in python.org logo?
