Does anyone know the name of the font used in the "Now You See It" logo (Narz version)?

I would dare say that since the only known crafted version is crafted out of neon tubes, that it may be bespoke and thus not based on a typeface.

Based on that, I'll amend my answer to "Yes or No."

It's a valid question. The Now You See It logo was clearly based on a font that was pretty hip at the time. Gambit, which had a terrific graphic designer if not much of a set, used the font on the prizes on the Gambit Board. It was the font for Rhyme and Reason, too, and a nifty Parker Brothers game called Gambler.

Beamie is a pretty close match.

Here's the original, Stripes. Rhyme And Reason, Gambit and Gambler used Yagi Double...close relative of the Yagi Link Double in the Super Password logo.

See, I read his question wrong. I thought he was talking about the font used on the board.

Beamie kinda looks like the old Sega font, doesn't it? Just a bit?

Thanks for this. Surprising we don't see more of Yagi Double and Universal with the 70s poking up again.

Your brand of "fun" ain't exactly mine.
