font style on Jubilee upholstey
 
getting some of the upholstery redone on my 1998 Jubilee. Does anyone know what font style is used on the headreasts on the rear bench seat?

I just had my sun deck and head rests recovered, and I spent hours looking for the font style to give to the upolstery guy, to no avail. He told me not to worry about it, as he would take the original to an embrodery shop that does ball caps, and they digitally reproduced it and applied it to the raw pieces of material for the new head rests. You cannot tell them appart from the originals.

97 Z222's right. Any embroidery shop should be able to reproduce the logo. I've seen many people who had their upholstery redone and had the logo sewn back in, and you can barely tell any difference from the original. The font that Mariah used is a commercially available font, however it's skewed, stretched, the letters are "welded" (combined together), and it contains a symbol not used in the font's character map, basically it's a custom symbol that was created specifically for Mariah. Even the new Sea Fox Mariah logo is altered from the original one.

Every shop should have software capable of tracing existing designs, and usually has someone skilled enough to make the embroidery look as close to the original as possible. Let us know how it turns out! :wink_thumbup:
