I'm looking to find this unique font in this logo:

Great Lakes Motorcoach Logo

I can't seem to find it anywhere since most of the letters are unique. I've tried uploading it to the first 5 links on Google for "find font by image" but nothing comes close.

  • The bounty yielded some interesting answers, but nothing that fit exactly. Matt and Sam's combined can get you pretty close.

I think Advertisers Gothic should be very close.

    Stretch this vertically and use the C and O from Stage Serial or Revue BT, and that's the closest yet

Its a modified font called Revue BT Regular. All they did was add a stroke:

    The G, T, and L look pretty close, but A, R, E look way off.

  • sorry I've searched all the sites I know and bounced the question to two boards. It might be a software dedicated font.

  • Okay well thanks. What would you suggest I do to get font? Draw it in illustrator or photoshop?

  • are you trying to duplicate the logo exactly? I would import it in Illustrator and reproduce the artwork. I would assume this is for the buses, per the search about the company?

    Similar style, but not the same font - particularly, A, K, R...

It's an art nouveau / arts & crafts sort of thing with a hefty dose of 70s ITC. A little bit of Goudy, a little bit of Benguiat. The A is clearly an identifier but within that subset, the odd-shaped and historically inaccurate O is a good way to spot this design. Looks like two art nouveau Cs grafted together.

I'm not aware of a perfect match but it's obviously not hand drawn. My guess is that it comes from one of the many half-baked freeware font sites. You might try digging around FontSquirrel (not all bad, btw).
