The file GTHOMAS has should work well if you plan on using a plotter to cut the letters out of self Stick sign vinyl. It will also work if you want to create a printed decal like a Gerber Edge print. This type of file is vector based which is a number of points linked together by a path, this type of file lends itself to this type of sign application much better than a pixel based file type. This type of file(Vector Based) can be scaled up or down without any quality loss. | |||

Ok Wayne, you got me on the 't' too many, true. But my translation is closer. BTW: soit is very interesting as it is the French Subjonctif, a case the English language doesn't really have. Old English as used in the Bible (as in 'thou shalt not...') is about the closest, but not exactly the same. Ok, Don, OT alarm going off. PS: Funny how a thread about Gerard Perregaux ended up in a French grammar lesson. Kinda fitting, don't you think? | |||

It appears on the Royal Coat of Arms as: "HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE" and is most often translated as "Evil to him who evil thinks," or something like that. | |||

Oops. I assumed the word "pense" would have meant something else. | |||

Well, it's supposed to be French, but it is missing the accents from my US keyboard. Don't stone me for posting in French these days... It means: Shame on the one who thinks of it in a bad way. It's a French idiom. | |||

Andreas, you don't need to tell us everything in your personal life. Really. C'mon, now.  | |||

Thanks guys for all the good help. I'll play with it over the weekend. I'll post the results eventually, a modified 360 model hopefully soon looking like a 360GT. | |||

It is also close to Bankock (from the Corel Draw 3 CD-ROM). | |||

Andreas, the closest i could come is Bookman Old Style bold, but that's definitely not it... The letters on the car have curves and are only slightly seriffed whereas the letters in Bookman Old Style have a more defined serif to them and the letters aren't as curved... i'm limited, however, in my font selection... Maybe someone else has more fonts and can figure it out... | |||

 Does anybody know what the font is called Girard Perregaux uses for its logo (here on a 360GT)? I'm trying to mimick the font on the PC to create some GP decals. |
