Location: Lake Forest, CA | Hello Ovation Guitars!
I saw you updated the Ovation logo on OvationGuitars.com. Bravo! It's much better than the 'new' logo.
I'm restoring a 1967 Balladeer for Jay, here on on the OFC and I need to recreate the Balladeer logo for the headstock.
What typeface should I use?
TIA,
Dan |

Location: Lake Forest, CA | I just asked SWMBO (graphic designer) and she said it was Sahara. Balladeer logo on headstock: 
Ovation Balladeer using Sahara typeface I just downloaded: 
Naturally, I'll need to adjust the kerning, but I believe this is it. Thanks anyway! Dan |

The Arabian Normal font looks much better.
