HI all...I openly admit this is a 'waste' thread topic so to speak, however I also recall discussions in the past (even on the dealry beloved Housequake...RIP) relating to custom fonts Prince once invested in to really create that point of difference in his textual presence. Those days seem to be more or less gone and we now see readily available commercial fonts employed in his promotios and artwork. With that in mind, I couldn't help but notice a striking similarity with the 3rd Eye Girl font to the "Grand Theft Auto" franchise font, which in turn bears a close resemblance to the American "Price Is Right" show. Not a ground breaking thread by any means as I mentioned...but just a little point of interest.

The font is not Pricedown or GTA, although they look very similar. I know the exact font, because it was part of B.Slade's official logo (in almost the same stylization) last year and up until just recently.

I'm not at liberty to discuss it further, though.

If it's this B-Slade logo below, then the letter "E" is cutomized differently. All the letters in B.Slade's logo are uppercase, and the letters "i" and "n" in Prince's logo are lowercase

Deep Purple and TwerK is that SHIT, he always has at least three funk jams on his albums. As well on his latest "Stunt Bi#2h" album check out the extremely Princey "Diana Prince"
