Im making some wallpapers currently, and im just wondering if anyone knows what fonts Microsoft uses on their product logos? (such as .NET 2003 server, XP, 2000 etc)

I have tried verdana, but its not quite the same.

not sure.. i think its just arial though.

Not 100% sure,but i think it's either "Tahoma" or "Trebuchet MS".

Thanks for the replies, i'll give them all a shot.

All of the above I think. After playing around with logos, covers, etc. Arial seems the most common. Think I'll ask around - something to do.

after needing it myself (see sig)

i found its ARIAL BLACK

verdana works well but if you look at the dip in the letter M, verdana dosent go down as low as Arial Black does.

Arial Black: Microsoft

Verdana: Microsoft

Obviously it looks a little off when done by the browser, but in an image editor it looks perfect.

I have also noticed that image editors such as Adobe and Paint appear one way on the PC and little differnt in the IE browser. The printed result is good enough for my printed stuff.

In short "What he said"

thats why proffesionally designed sites have a lot of text that is actually an image on the page.

Microsoft

Arial,Bold,Italic,Size 14
