Does anyone know where I can find the current Top Of The Pops font?

Sadly I believe that it is a custom made font especially for the programme, which means that it is not commercially available. Although the Blueyonder font is remarkably similar as well.

I would say Pump, Bauhaus, and Bimini are the nearest. It looks like they are using Bimini or similar for the archive sections of the show.

I'd love a copy of this, but I can dream

Cmd, I think Keith is right, the graphic dept most probably made that design by tweaking a few fonts in illustrator then animating it inside another app for the title sequence. I'd say it was more of a specially created logo Smile

And I have to add, I also think the font is horrible (even thoug I would love a copy, does that make sense?), especially at a small size it is difficult to make out certain letters. Bring back Template Gothic from 95-98

I only would like a copy as it would be nice to use on DVD menus of the show.
