MechWarrior2 Logo

[LordNova2]

Dose anyone have a high-res image of the "MechWarrior® 2" logo i could have? It would be nice to actually find the font they used for it (if they did use a font).

I know the font used on the CD ROMs for the following text "Windows 95 CD-ROM", "DOS CD-ROM", "MS-DOS", "PENTIUM EDITION", "EXPANSION PACK", "GHOST BEAR'S LEGACY", "31st CENTURY COMBAT", "MERCENARIES", and ect is 'BankGothic Md BT' (http://www.fontyukle.com/en/BankGothic+Md+BT+Medium.ttf).

.... Have no idea where you could get one. I do know that if you have a CD, you'll be able to find a medium-res logo on there.

You can use MechVM's "View File" button to open DataBase.MW2, perhaps there you'll find what you seek.

I would make a scan of the CDs or box if my scanner was working. Actually the CD art would be more than attiquit in a high-res scan, all I would need would be the 'stencil' of the lettering, one can alwayse go back and add the cloud/flame effects to the letters as they desire since the logo often changes from the Box-Art to what is on the CDs as well as differant variations of the CD (I have seen some MW2:31CC CDs without the flame effects in the letters).

That would work. Do you have a CD with the clouded-flame effects (like the ATi Rage edition)? There are some CD's that have the flame effect on them, and some that don't.

Yea I grabbed that one from my brother's house, through the years of miss-storage the data on it is FUBAR.

Also, I managed to get my Scanner working, I am using a beta build of Windows7 x64 (Build 7100) and for my HP scanner/printer drivers I needed Build 7600 or higher. Got it working with a copy of Vista drivers. Yes if you have Win7 and your hardware MFG does not support Win7 yet try using a Vista driver, nine times out of ten they work.

FYI I ended up scanning the side of the MW2 Battle-Pack box at 1200DPI. Now the "stencil" image is almost ridiculously large in pixel-size, but that was to smooth out my crappy job at trying to trace the letters, and when you downsize it to a more applicable resolution it looks great.
Have fun with using it to make your MW2 images with.

For future referances the font used for "MechWarrior" and "NetMech" appears to be from the Partego family.
