It was beginning to look like I would have no choice but to trace out the logo in Illustrator. I can’t list the number of typography websites I searched through…too many. I was sorry that I didn’t save my old *Letraset Type Specimen Book* from college because I know that’s where the above image came from. This font doesn’t exist for the computer! ( ) digitized Bookman but the italic version is not the same (biggest difference in the lower case “a” not to mention the lack of swash alternatives). Took 30 minutes to find out the font was Bookman Bold Italic Swash. I knew the font looked familiar, but I couldn’t quite place it. and the rough & grainy 170 x 118 black on white version on the current website won’t work for much. I will need to use it in a variety of sizes, colors, etc. So, job #1 for me is to get the logo into a digital vector format. Gives a certain character, but I wanted to get a cleaner, less-drawn version. It looks like the prior owners copied the original logo by hand for the literature and website. There is no electronic version of the logo, and no way to get one. The logo could probably use some updating, but my client can’t afford to change everything right now so I need to work with what’s there. All of the signage uses the name of the place in a certain font. My client recently purchased a bed & breakfast in Pennsylvania and hired me to re-do their website and some print work.
