Font Matching for Custom Logo

Hi,

I've just taken two decals off my mountain bike, not realizing that the frame had a lacquer coating on top of them. In case you're wondering why I did one and was then stupid enough to repeat my mistake, its one on either side of the frame ;).

I'm now been left with a large mark were there is no lacquer on either side. I've asked around and found that it can't be neatly covered without a complete respray. I have, however, found a local company who can make custom decals to put over it if I provide them with a design. So I've obtained a copy of Photoshop CS3 and tried to make my name in a similar font to the large manufacturer decal (which is still on the frame). I'm trying to get Chris on one side and Walker on the other with the same dimensions.

The manufacturer logo looks like this;

except invert the black and white (and on a white background instead of red).

Does anyone have any tips? It seemed like an easy task but so far all my efforts look like a five-year-old using MS Paint.

Thanks,

Chris

Hey chris, welcome! Probably a pretty easy job, Photoshop-wise. I agree that your toughest problem lies in finding a good matching font. I'd suggest going to Font Freak, where with a bit of time and patience, you should be able to find something along the lines you posted for a match.
