(via Gilbert Consulting Design Tips): Ever need to find a font that looks just like some famous brand, company or product?
Here are some resources for finding typefaces/fonts for all sorts of brands, famous foods, drinks, candy, restaurants, businesses/companies, bands/musicians, TV shows, sports teams, cars/automobiles, games & video games, publications, sports teams and more:
Some fonts on FamousFonts are only for ID, but they do tell you the name of the typeface and the foundry (with links where available). Sharkshock seems to offer downloads of everything they show on the site. TypoWiki is more corporate-oriented, the other two more pop-culture related. Also, TypoWiki is (as the name implies) more of a Wikipedia-based reference guide than a download site.
Good stuff, and these things come in handy, usually for some sort of gag or parody - but worth it!
