When ATWIAD came out I LOVED how each song

title had a different design. Along with how the

singles covers were all a piece of the whole album

cover etc.

I think the best font is Raspberry Beret. Very cool.

Close, but no cigar I'm afraid. Thanks a ton for looking, though. Check your orgnotes for your efforts. wink

Yeah, I guess Prince liked how the Purple Rain artwork looked with a different font for each song. I prefer the ATWIAD design.

I was sure I had this one somewhere, but alas it seems I don't sad

I'm guessing you've tried sites like http://www.identifont.com/ - I did try myself (I've had luck there before), but the results this time were not helpful.

I'll keep thinking... hmmm

Thanks. I have tried that site a few times before, but didn't get any responses. Maybe my font queries are too obscure. I'm usually pretty good at font identity, but I'm stumped on these last three.

I'm pretty sure the "Tamborine" font has a name that has something to do with circuses or signage...

Only one more to go!

I thought Pop Life would be easy, because of the balloon detailing at the bottom of the letters....

It's stumped me (and my font search tools)!

Fingers crossed for you, squirrel

I thought the same thing, but then when SG posted the name of the tamborine font (nice one, btw!!), I realised that they must have edited the first and last parts, because I'd been keeping my eye out for any font that lets you create some kind of "end-flag" character.

The point is, maybe the balloon detailing was added to a more plain font?

It's a long shot, but worth bearing in mind for anyone searching.

That said, even without that detail, I still couldn't find any that match that lettering exactly sad

^ Thanks you two for looking. I really, really appreciate it. Yeah, I considered that maybe the "highlights" had been added to the Pop Life lettering after the fact, but like Chiq said, that font shape is elusive to say the least. No hits on WTFont either.

Oh, well. lol
