Coors Light Beer Box

Hello,

I am wondering if I can get some help with this.

Please see this image: http://www.rasjah.com/coorsupload.jpg

I am trying to figure out a couple things here.

#1. What font is the LIGHT written in?
#2. How to obtain the bevel and shadow on the LIGHT text.
#3. How to warp the LIGHT text to get it to appear at an angle like this.

Any help would be great!! Thank you!!

I bet they played with it A LOT in Ilustrator and than Photoshop. That's what I think! Prolly used a Mac. With a really big plasma screen! My 2 cents.

1. After looking through several hundred fonts, the only one I found that was somewhat close was Univers. You might be able to find this exact font on a free font site like AcidFonts.com. Those that create the fonts there seem to like to imitate popular fonts, like the Back to the Future font, so you might be able to find something there. Or check out Adobe.com and look through their batch of fonts. Most likely this is a heavily modified Serif font. You can modify letters in Illustrator to get them to look the way you want.

2. There are a number of layer effects on the text. There's a black outline, a soft chiseled inner bevel possibly with a unique contour, and an inner shadow. That is all easy to create in photoshop. The outer bevel, or perspective, of the LIGHT text would be harder. My suggestion would be to duplicate the LIGHT layer, remove all layer effects and change the color to black. Then move the layer to be behind the stylized LIGHT layer, and move it so that the black LIGHT layer is below and to the right of the stylize LIGHT layer. Then do a little filling in, connecting like edged of each letter with the pen tool. In the end I'd make a duplicate of each layer and merge one set while leaving another set unmerged but invisable.

3. In photoshop, there's a text warp function under the Type menu. I can't way exactly which kind of warp this is, but by playing with it you ought to be able to figure it out. Maybe a fisheye. You can also try the Warp filters. Theres a twirl and spherize and such, one of those might work.

I made this using Myriad font. Just went and made the inner part of the G pointy with the eraser. I used Skew to get the text to have the slight slant. Then I gave it a drop shadow. Then selected the white part of the text and used Select>Modify>Contract, created a new layer and made sure it was the active one (while keeping the selection) then filled the selection with white and then used Stroke on that layer. Then I just went in and erased the Stroke where need be. Finally I used Shear to give it the slight arc.

I'd assume there is no font to speak of. This sort of package design has been around a lot longer than true type fonts ...

Got ink?
