I just wanted to get the feedback of my fellow programs on my most recent project.

I'm in the process of creating a font based on the TRON 2.0 logo. At this time I only have the 26 primary characters done - the numbers will be added shortly, as well as a few alternate characters. This is also only a rough version of the font: the metrics will have to be adjusted and tweaked (meaning that the spacing will be modified and, most likely, much tighter).

My inspiration for the remaining 22 characters that were not in the logo has been the background design in the game, as well as the set design from the original film and the font that was created for the PC some time ago. I wanted to try and meld the three into something that I felt captured the spirit of Tron.

It's currently still vector art - I haven't started converting it to an actual font yet. The finished product will be a True Type font for Mac and PC.

...The time frame for the finished product will be: in the near future. (as a graphic designer, fonts are not something I do on a frequent basis... they are usually done as side projects for my own personal self indulgence - such as this one)

I'm asking my fellow programs for their input on 2 things:
1. - how do you feel about the font so far.
2. - a name. ...For reasons of possible copyright infringement I don't want to call it "TRON 2.0" ...and I'm drawing a bit of a blank on a name, so any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks

Yup. I've seen and have that font. ^^

Anyways, you're "W" looks like a Japanese Katagana letter. You may wanna play around with it a bit..... ^^;;

Looks great! Name? How about "Traahn" (pronounced "Tron"). I didn't want to steal the thunder of "Tron" entirely, so I chose this slight mod on the word for my screen-name. Feel free to use it for your font

Since I/we would think "Tron" when looking for this font in a list of fonts (i.e., when working in MS Word), it'd be nice if the font showed up similar to where "Tron" would be. So, a spin on the word is my recommendation.

Other thoughts:
Tronize
Trohn
TronLith
Tronscious
Tronsciousness
Tronscience
Tronnen
Tronflair
Tronrez

Or, here are other suggestions:
LithTron
Null
Guardian

Sorry, I could do this all night. I'll stop now

ok, this sounds kinda stupid, but how about "digital dreams"?

i'm really not expecting you to choose that name, but if you want, you can use it.order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pill

I would love to see Syd Mead's concept for the font!

Thanks for the positive feedback so far guys! I really appreciate it. Thanks for the name suggestions too, and keep them coming... the more I get the better.

Oh, Kamui - what's a Katagana letter? I'm not familiar with that.

To answer some of the questions from above: I'm exploring the creation of a lower case characters for this font... I was thinking something more rounded and fluid to offset the harsh, bold angles in the upper case characters. I have considered including the Tron 1.0 font, but I decided against it since it already exists on its own, and a few of the cahracters in my current project are rather close to those in the previous font set, so it might seem a bit redundant.

...As far as including a disk... I might rabbit, I might.

I'm working on this as I get the opportunity, and I want to make this available as soon as possible. I'm still fleshing out lower case charatcers (which, depending on how I feel they work with the font, may or may not be in the finished product), as well as some of the additonal characters, and my wife and I have a new born son ( ) who (as I'm sure you can imagine) has become a priority in our lives. I want to assure you guys that I will do my best to get this done as quickly as possible to satisfy some of the requests I've already received... (you know who you are )

Thanks, DaveTRON! That's great. I appreciate the assistance.

I was actually having a difficult time with serveal of hte numerical characters, and this has been a becon of inspiration. I look forward to seeing the rest of the alphabet (if you locate it - ).

Actually, it's spelled katakana and hiragana. ^^;

Nice job on the font!

It looks very cool and I'm sure it will clean up nicely when you complete your final models!

Names, eh?

DataScript
CompuScript
MCP
RecogScript
I/OScript

Anything "script" sounds cool to me.

PimpDragonScript2.0

You know. Something "script".

DaveTRON, I'm in total envy of your Syd Mead possessions!

That man is one of the greatest designers that ever put pencil to paper.

His work on TRON and Blade Runner is unsurpassed!

What other cool stuff of Mead's do you have?

Why not call the font "Electroverse" which is kinda a ersatz name some of us fans bandy about to describe the universe of Tron or you could use my personal name for the universe: "Tronspace".
