Member Pra… Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Could not find the ampersand style as shown in the sample attached. Would you know where to find it? The font is Le Griffe. Link to comment
Member Gec… Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Prabodh Jain in my opinion, as an old school designer, the ampersand used in the existing sample card you enclosed is very unattractive and looks out of place compared to the ampersand included in the actual typeface. Time for an upgrade perhaps? Link to comment

This would make it distracting, thus rendering the design less effective in conveying information. That said, I think they just used a different typeface for |&| (unfortunately I don’t know which one). Link to comment
Member Giz… Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Is it an ampersand? Looks more like a G clef Link to comment

Time for an upgrade perhaps? The original logotype was designed by someone else at least 20 odd years ago. I was asked to identify the typeface and was able to recall it as Le Griffe. This pleased me a lot since I had used it via a sheet of Letraset rub-down transfer in silver colour letters. 1 Link to comment
