Does anyone know what the font is that Sky Sports use on their astons?

Thanks

I think it's a condensed version of Tw Cen, which Channel 5 use as well. It is also obviously changed to a 'small caps' version.

Thanks! I was wondering what that was!
I've just watched NEWS actually, and it is very good! But they predict the weeks next headlines... wierd!

What do you mean by your signature? Of course people went to the Moon - are you suggesting it wasn't?

Actually we didn't NASA, faked it, if you want to know why start a topic in the general chat forum, I can't be bothered!

Tw Cen is NOT the Sky Sports font
Tw Cen is another name for Futura!

I only said I think it is!!!

I'm not sure though, it does look the same, but I think it's a variation. Tw Cen is definitely the one used on Ch5, and I think it's the Sky Sports one because of the numbers mainly. I can't figure out if the letters are the same or not, because I've nothing to compare them to!
