Question: The Amazing Logo

seinfeld — Mon, 27 Dec 2004 11:44:17 -0800

I need some help finding a -large- picture of The Amazing Race logo. I've looked everything -- Google images, cbs.com, around the Web.

Anyone know where to find one? Or have any ideas on where I should search? Thanks for the help. (I want to print my own clues and hence need the logo to fill the back of the envelope, as in the show).

Usually the press/publicity people for CBS (or the production company) will create large format images for press people to use. Call/email the right person and tell them you're planning to write a positive review of the show on/for a website, and that you need high-res graphics for the story. They should be able to point you in the right direction, or email you those assets.

pwb503, yes, that is definiately large enough. .. except for the ugly Teri and Jan pic at the bottom.. Can anyone with a little artistic talent remove that?

Thanks for the help guys.

chaz -- I'll email them -- that's a great idea! ...

large is large and clear enough to be printed on an envelope that is 4" tall and about 10" wide.

For whatever it's worth, I'm pretty sure the font they are using is Brazilia Seven. Univers Extended is a close match, but look at the R.

From there, you can photoshop up a storm onto a map, or red and yellow background, for full race authenticity (the logo really isn't on the clues, since look at it, it's animated and blurry).

Lastly, here are some itty-bitty route markers.

You're the last team to arrive. I'm sorry to say you've both been eliminated from the race.

Yes, yes they can.
