Vice City Police Dept. Font....

[BrettYea 60]

Hey!

 

I want to start work on a Vice City themed pack of vehicles, but can't decide on the font! I've looked at pictures of the GTA VC Cruiser and come up with a list of fonts I (personally) think are close and/or look good. Would anyone be willing to point me in the right direction as to which font to use? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Use the 2nd Font in the picture starting from the top!

Try Helvetica. If I'm correct, that is the right font. Of course, this is off the top of my head. 

But if you were to do a Vice City themed vehicle, I'd suggest doing something similar to Broward County green. The dark green best suits GTA. The light green won't have much appeal, even if you do the same design style. (7 years of skinning experience)

I was thinking about that one too, but upon trying it out, it didn't look that great. Thanks anyway though!

 

@Fartknockr

I tried Helvetica, but it didn't seem right. I tried out League Spartan and it looks good. I also took your suggestion about the color. I don't think it's exactly Broward County green, but again, it looks good. Thanks! Have a look for yourself!

 

(I should have mentioned this is a skin pack, not a model pack. I'm just reskinning Yard1's LCPD Defaults pack.)

What I did was I downloaded Vice City Rage, opened the vehicle.img file, exported the police.wft, then opened the .wtd and exported the livery image. If you want to save the time by not doing that, you can >click here and download the Vice City Police Esperanto skin I made and just cut it out of my livery and paste it on yours! :)

Thanks, wish I would have found that earlier! But I'm going to stick with my version simply because mine is a modern rendition, so over the course of 29 years (1986 - 2015), I would imagine the VCPD would have updated or changed their liveries (if not completely, just slightly). Assuming it was a real police department of course!

Good work with the skin. Nice, clean and HD too.

Thanks! Here's an in-game picture (can be found in the gallery too...)...

Arial?..

Too thin, and Arial Bold is too, well, bold! I went with League Spartan.

Just wanted to say that if you're making a Vice City themed pack of vehicles please include the Vice Squad vehicles in there! Aka white testarossa with a siren!

I'm only making skins for existing vehicles, sorry! But have no fear, I'll find a way to include a Vice Squad vehicle! It'll probably be a Buffalo though.
