Introduction & Demonstration
We can turn almost any company, organisation, or club logo
into a True Type font, that can be inserted into any document*
that has access to the font menu. If you've used the Wingdings,
Webdings or Dingbats fonts before, you know how easy it is to
add font based graphics to a document. It could be just as easy
to add your logo, if you decide to use our Logo Font Creation
Service.
Your logo will be available to everyone in your organisation,
for easy insertion into documents and presentations. Plus, there's
a huge potential cost saving in network / hard disk space (taken
up by graphic images), and in the printing or reprinting of company
stationary.
Don't just stop at your main logo too. If your stationary
has other logos (e.g. memberships, awards and certifications),
we can add them as well so that you can completely reproduce
your stationary with high quality scalable graphics. We may have
already created the more common logos, and can add them to your
font for a very reasonable price.
If you're not sure why you'd need your logo converted to a
custom True Type Font, take a look at our Uses
and Benefits section below. If you want to see just how
effective a logo font can be, visit our Examples
page, or see the Demonstration Font

Single colour logos |
Multi-colour logos |
Logo variants |

All the above types of logo can be added to a single True
Type Font, for easy insertion into documents and presentations |
|
The Logo Fonts we produce are compatible with all versions
of Windows, plus Mac OSX.
* NOTE: As with any custom font, not generally suitable for
use in e-mail messages as it requires the recipient to have the
font already installed on their computer
Note: If you have an earlier version of the Mac operating
system we can provide a specially converted version of your logo
font.
Don't be put off if your logo has more than one colour - we
can produce a colour* True Type Font version of your logo,
with each colour assigned to a separate key on the keyboard.
To make it easier to insert colour versions of Custom Logo fonts,
we will supply a pre-formatted version of your logo in
a Microsoft Word document, which is ready to copy and paste into
the document you are creating.
* Note: The success of colour logo reproduction is dependent
on the complexity of the image, the number of colours, and the
presence of colour gradients. Logos with colours gradients or
logos that contain photographs are particularly unsuitable for
conversion. We will only attempt a colour conversion if we feel
the results are going to be acceptable. If necessary, we will
ask you to formally approve a preview of the finished font before
completing the work.
All of our font services include a CD-ROM in the price,
and there are no restrictions of use, or licensing fees, to
pay.

Uses & Benefits Of A Logo
Font
You can add your logo to any document with the press of
a key.
Any software that has access to the font menu will allow
you to use your custom Logo font. You can use your logo to:
- Create pre-formatted company stationary: fax headers, letter
headers, complimentary slips or other corporate branded documents
- Enhance presentations and advertising material
- Add your company or organisation identify in any document*
where a professional image is required
* NOTE: As with any custom font, not generally suitable for
use in e-mail messages as it requires the recipient to have the
font already installed on their computer
Your logo as a font will always print out at the maximum
quality of your printer.
True Font Fonts are completely different to bitmap, jpg,
gif, tiff or similar graphic image formats. Whereas these formats
are pixel based, True Type Fonts are vector based and are therefore
fully scalable. This means that your printer will always reproduce
your logo at the highest quality, no matter how large you make
it.
Printed documents with vector graphics such as a logo font therefore,
have the extremely sharp, clean look of professionally printed
material.
For an actual comparison of an image versus a Logo Font, please
download this Example Microsoft
Word Document (26 KB), which compares a bitmap image of the
Quantum Enterprises logo with the equivalent logo font.
You can also view a Demonstration
further down this page (which does not require Microsoft Word).
Your logo as a font is easy to re-size, and will not lose
quality as you increase the scale.
As discussed above, you Logo font will be fully scalable,
and will not degrade when you re-size it.
Look at the example below, which gives an explanation of how
bitmap style images pixellate when enlarged:
|
|
A section of the 150 x 58 pixel version of the Quantum
Enterprises logo. When enlarged to a scale greater than the original
size, the pixellated effect is clearly seen.
|
Simulation of the same section of the logo when converted
to a True Type font and scaled. There is no pixellation. This
produces extremely sharp, clean results when printed at all sizes.
|
To change the size of your logo, all you would need to do is
highlight the logo with your cursor and change the font (point)
size. Even point sizes of 100 or 200 point will give a clean
version of your logo.
For an actual comparison of an image versus a Logo Font, please
download this Example Microsoft
Word Document (26 KB), which compares a bitmap image of the
Quantum Enterprises logo with the equivalent logo font.
You can also view a Demonstration
further down this page (which does not require Microsoft Word).
Your logo as a font will use far less disk / network space
than its bitmap, tiff, gif or jpg equivalent.
Our Example Microsoft
Word Document compares a bitmap graphic image with the same
logo made into a True Type Font. The graphic image used in this
example is 26 KB, whereas the Logo Font is only 6 KB.
For a graphic image to have produced equivalent print quality
at the larger sizes, the file size could up to 300 KB in or larger.
If you multiply this type of image size, by the number of
times per day an employee may use a document containing your
logo, and then multiply that by the number of employees you have
in your organisation, you can see how quickly using a graphic
image version of your logo can suck up precious disk space.
When using a Logo Font, there is only ever one version on
the users machine, and thus the disk usage to hold graphic image
versions is significantly reduced - ultimately saving your company
money through saved IT resources.
Your logo as a font will be easier for you or your staff
to add to documents.
Inserting images into documents using programs such as Microsoft
Word can often be confusing - particularly for the less computer-literate
in you organisation. Sizing and positioning graphic elements
in relation to text can often tax even the more experienced users.
In addition, it takes even greater knowledge of graphics, image
file types, and image optimisation to avoid employees inserting
inappropriately large images into documents, when something a
tenth of the size would have sufficed.
Using a Logo Font is as easy as typing a letter on the keyboard
in the company logo font. Resize it just like any other font
text.
Demonstration Of A Colour Logo
Font
We can produce high quality colour Logo Fonts, using an image
separation process. The example below demonstrates this.
 Each colour in the logo
is separated, and assigned to a different letter on the keyboard.
To recreate the logo, all you have to do is type each letter
that makes up the font, and change the colour of each letter
to match the separated colour.
In this three colour example, the letters A (blue), B (red)
and C (yellow) look like the example to the right when displayed
as 'Arial'. When changed to the Logo Font, they look like the
example below.

created by our service. You can view a demonstration of this
font in two ways:
Click here to view the actual
font embedded in a Microsoft Word Document.
With this version you can try changing the font and re-sizing
it. Don't just judge the quality of the image by looking at it
on screen. Go ahead and open the document, and print out a colour
version at your highest quality printer settings. This is the
best demonstration of the quality that can be achieved with a
Custom Logo Font. |
If you cannot view Microsoft Word Documents, click
here to see a PDF version of the same document. (Note: You
may need to download a free PDF document viewer from www.adobe.com
to view this file).
Try printing out the document at your highest quality printer
settings. This is another good demonstration of the quality that
can be achieved with a Logo Font.
