Title: Thomsonfly Font
Post by Capt. Bulb on Nov 6^th, 2006 at 8:06pm

Hi there, my names Chris and im currently in the middle of a Thomsonfly paint for your wonderful 757 :)

I know that the 757 already comes with a Thomson paint but I feel it could be a lot better but of course, like with most people trying to do a Thomson paint im stuck with what font to use.

I noticed however that on the Thomson paint that is released with the model the font seems very accurate.

I was just wondering if you could shed any light on this situation?

Thanks,

Chris.

Company fonts are a nightmare. I was trying to find the font for my British Airways repaint. It costs over �300 GBP (about $550 USD) for the font. I don't think any repaint artist would want to part with that amount of cash.
I ended up making my own version using shapes and shape manipulation in Photoshop. Made each letter seperatly then joined them together.
