As part of my college project, I have chosen a well known local design company and I am redoing their logo, as you can see I have got quite far with the logo however I am having trouble finding a font to suit. I have tried dafont and 1001 free fonts and many other sites but I just cant seem to find a font that matches the beginning letters of each word. This is now the last resort as I cant seem to find one :(. Oh and I would prefer a free one! hehe





Update:

This is what the final piece was. Thanks for everybody that has helped. Its lovely to have somewhere to go to bounce ideas off of people as nobody I know or talk to are designers.

Thanks guys

This is just an opinion:

Separate typeface and logo makes for a much easier path to success.

Consider these iconic logos that stood the test of time, they don't tend to incorporate type into logos:

Nike, NBC, Apple, McDonalds, Target, Pepsi, American Airlines

If you really want to use type face as a logo consider using a homogeneous approach where all of the type face is the SAME typeface:

Coca-Cola, Disney, IBM, VW, etc.

Either of those solutions would be a lot easier than making two different typefaces flow within a single word.

IMHO (!)

I would leave only first element (left one) and it central part I'd increase and probably rotate (as well as external one).

The modern look - I'd create by adding airy light font like on the image I've just created -

There's a very small chance that you'll find a typeface that'll match the logo you created. I understand that you want to repeat the letters from the logo in the type to 'explain' the logo. I think you only have two alternatives:


Set the entire text in the same type, even the initials. Pity, but no 'explanation', the viewer will have to figure out on her own what's going on.
Design the 'entire' typeface, or at least, design the letters you'd need to spell out the company name. That way you ensure the connection between the image and the type, without any inevitable 'clash' between your type and another.
