Recreating My Friend's Grandfather's Old Bar Logo

Featured Replies

Hi Gurus! My friend's grandfather owned a bar back in the day and all she has is an old t-shirt depicting the identity. She asked if I could recreate the logo for her. Can anyone help me identify the fonts that were used for each element? Thanks so much for any help!

Pelots – ?
EXCUSES – ?
PRESCOTT – ?

PRESCOTT and ARIZONA are Souvenir Medium

EXCUSES could be recreated with a horizontally stretched Flange or LHF Hensler and a bit of additional editing. Serif Gothic Heavy is another option.

Pelots appears to be lettering—still trying to ID a close similar. Filmotype Jupiter has a similar vibe.

It would be helpful to know the year the t-shirt was created, or the years the bar was open.

Kevin, thanks for being so helpful! Really appreciate it. Granddaughter states this would have been created within the '88-'93 timeframe.
