nice i have bin looking for this

By any chance do you have the CMYK color codes or the full graphical profile for Amiga and/or Commodore?

Maybe there is some more info where you found/scanned those images.


I did not scan or find these images on the internet. I made them myself using Photoshop and Adobe fonts I bought in the early 90's.

Very interesting and useful! Thanks! :-D
I saved the pictures, and I know they'll come in handy some rainy day.

The answer's probably no, but any chance you could convert the text to paths and save the Amiga one as a vector image? SVG would be great! Or Postscript would do.

Definitely agree with this being the right way to write AMIGA - in more ways than one. None of the post-Commodore AMiGA nonsense! :-)

Actually, the answer just might be a yes.

I cannot do SVG BUT, I could write this text in Adobe Illustrator, then create outlines and save it as encapsulated postscript or a .AI file at your choice.

Would that be good enough?

I think in a format like that you could then use it as a mask to create nice color effects or even extrude it for 3D renders.

@ eslapion,

I learned something today because of you.  Your post on this thread was very well written, clear and easily understood (unlike more than a few others I have read), so I was surprised to read that you stated you are "partly autistic".

I had to look up Asperger Syndrome to find out more about it.  Now I am curious about what profession you chose, having your condition, and at what age did you get diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome?

How are you helping the Amiga community? :)
