Anyone know what font Scott use, i have sent them a mail, but dont expect a quick reply on this one.

I want to get a Decal with my name in their font made up for the bike.

    Same answer as on MTBR forum - it is probably their own. Copy and paste the letters off their website.

    Look at the 'Handel' font (google it and download it for free). Any sign firm can use it then make it italic with an outline to match Scott pretty closely.

    Yeah, it is. but I'm a ponce :)

    No idea where I am getting them from. The best place I have seen so far is in the U.S.

    I need the height just right. I am looking to put them where I have highlighted in red below on both sides:

    just change your name to 'Scott'
    Whenever I see an adult on a bicycle, I believe in the future of the human race.

    Found one that is pretty damn close - pfuk itallic, free download here:

    You will have to reduce the kerning a little and make an outline.

    Let us know how it comes out. If it looks good, I might do mine as well.

    Any good sign company can use either handel or microgramma, cut the line through it and add an outline. It's a similar font to the one the old Ford RS cars use to have.
