Scanned brochure image from the late 80s

[Member rel…]

Hi there. I've been trying to clean up this logo on an old 80s brochure for a while

I would like to try and identify what font, or fonts it might be

Can anyone help?

Please provider some context. Is that a company? A magazine? 

It would also help to see the entire page to get more information about how it was produced.

Yes, it's for my own fanzine / website.

I tried cleaning up the logo several years ago - 2006 even - when I ended up redrawing most of the logo from scratch because it was clear lines and shapes. But I was always left with fuzzy mishapen text, that I was unhappy about. Now I'd like to change that

It shares several quirks with both Industria and Star-Trek-adjacent typefaces like Logoform and Horizon.

I was, however, unable to find an exact match.

Given that Industria was released in 1984 and that it’s designer (Neville Brody) was the designer of the moment, I have to cast my vote for it being Industria.

Logoform and Horizon both date from 1992, making them too new for use in your 1980s brochure.

That’s why I referred to them as “Star-Trek-adjacent”: Horizon is based on lettering used for years before it was fixed in the currently available form. It is possible that some different prior attempt to make a font was made.

In any case, Industria certainly has the closest mix of features, even if it doesn’t work very well for |A|O|.

I'll give you guys your dues, you are damn hot! I think that's the one.

Yes there's a few slight amendments, such as the bevelling on the 'L' and the softening of the inner space on the 'A'... I think the other differences can be put to my dodgy scan and subsequent attempts to clean it up

I'll be honest and say what you're seeing there is an anagram, I've got people hot on my heels and don't want to give the game away, it's been a long labour of love over the years but I will drop by and let you see the results once done

Thank you once again
