Title: Break the Bank '76 Logo Font
Post by: GSRebich on April 16, 2009, 01:49:45 PM

Does anyone know the name of the font used in the logo of the 1976 version of "Break The Bank" and where I can download it?

I'm told that it's called Trooper Roman, but fontfinder.ws doesn't seem able to find it, even among commercial fonts.

There seem to be quite a few things (http://\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/robgiampietro/2672051801/\") on Google that suggest that this is not the right font.

Actually, that pic suggests to me that it *is* the right font -- they just added swooshes, probably manually, for the logo.

Compare http://www.gameshowutopia.net/breakbank/BreaktheBank1.jpg (http://\"http://www.gameshowutopia.net/breakbank/BreaktheBank1.jpg\") minus the swooshes -- that's it. The "a" is pretty unique.
