Gilmour Using Waters' Font

Couldn't find this thread, so if im wrong I apologize,

Has anyone noticed That the "David Gilmour" Lettering from On an Island is extremely similar to the lettering that Waters has used in Pros and Cons, Ca Ira and to some extent The Wall? I think he should have stayed away from it, but perhaps this will affect our subconcious and make us think that its a Pink Floyd Album.

Im just rambling but you get my point.

I have to say that I DO like the rest of the artwork.

Cheers

Thumbs up Re: Gilmour Using Waters' Font

The font is Gerald Scarfe's isn't it? I always thought it was done in his hand, dating back to the post-Animals era.

I wouldnt have thought about, had you not posted it, but i guess that font is just as well known as the Nike swoosh, when it comes to Floyd freaks.

Smile Re: Gilmour Using Waters' Font

You are right. It was scarfe's handwritten font (?) But hearing How Gilmour was never enamoured with the Wall, Pros and Cons etc Why would he Go with this "look"

Marketing i guess.

Dave you rascal, You

Hey Terrapin: I have this weird feeling that we have met before...

Don't know why but I just feel like somewhere somehow you might have crossed my path...
