CBush77 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Got my second First Gen last year. Having a bunch of work done to her. Wanting to put some personal custom touches to her. I was wondering if anyone knows what script was used for the Monte Carlo emblem? Haven’t been able to find it anywhere. Any help is appreciated. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC1of80 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Can you clarify a bit more? Do you mean the factory style emblems? The sail panels and rear panel emblems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 From what I recall it is a custom font GM created for the emblem. Many years ago when the club logo was created we had to get permission from GM to even use the script. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When one of our members created our club logo I write GM/Chevrolet and requested permission to use it and the grill emblem knight and it was approved. rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBush77 Posted December 31, 2021 Author Share Posted December 31, 2021 I was looking for the font used on the sail panel emblems. I have named her Sofia. I was looking to have her name written in that font someplace. So I would have to contact GM ask them if it’s okay to do that? And they can tell me what font it is? Or send me the name in that font?

My guess is they only custom made the letters necessary for “Monte Carlo”. I don’t think it is a font that is available anywhere. You would likely need to create the font for “Sofia” that appears the same as the Monte script. No permission would be needed for that since it would not be protected by copyright.

cny first gen 71 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Probably one of the engineers wrote it down and they used that as the design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jft69z Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Microsoft Word has a few loaded that are close. The 'M' is off on both, but the lower one looks real good on the 'Carlo' part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Those are pretty close to the Monte Carlo script. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
