rmackman Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I saw this on the side of a bus today:The Free Enterprise System is a charter bus company here in the Midwest. That font they're using, I believe, is the same as what the Miami Dolphins used up until the mid 1990s. Has anyone else seen a the use of a sports font in non-sports related businesses?Dolphins Font: "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running." - Unknown | Check out my articles on jerseys at Bacon Sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close, but definitly not the same.I'm betting it's the exact same font, but slightly stylized so that they could avoid a lawsuit. "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.

MG helmets Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 The font on the bus is called CandiceCandice fontIt's pretty common, actually. It was designed in 1976 by Alan Meeks. The Dolphins script is a custom made font, most probably inspired by the Candice font. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discogod Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 No pictures, but there's a barbershop in Bromsgrove, UK (about 15 miles outside of Birmingham) called "Clippers", and it uses the same font as the '78-82 San Diego Clippers logo...
