'''Century Gothic''' is a type font, and is widely accepted by fans as an unofficial font used to create [[Weezer]]'s wordmark [[Weezer logo|logo]]. | |||
==Overview== | ==Overview== | ||
'''Century Gothic''' | The Weezer wordmark font is not ''exactly'' Century Gothic, but rather a slight variation of the true font, [[Futura Medium]]. The original logo font appears on the cover art for ''The Blue Album'', ''Pinkerton'', ''Maladroit'', ''The Lion and the Witch'', ''Make Believe'', and ''The Red Album''. ''The Green Album'' is the only Weezer album to use Century Gothic on the cover art, something [[Karl Koch]] has described as a mistake on Geffen's part. Century Gothic has appeared, possibly as a mistake, on various pieces of merchandise and most recently on the first release of the digital album art for the "Pork and Beans" single. | ||
It is also worth noting that a font very close in appearance to Century Gothic is Avant Garde - the name of [[Rivers Cuomo]]'s first professional band. Coincidence? | |||
Century Gothic is a fairly common font, and usually comes standard with most operating systems and word processing programs. It can also be found for free download all over the net. | |||
