I was wondering if anyone knows how to identify a certain font - is there a website? The one I'm trying to figure out is the old Emporium script - I think it may also be the one Gucci used on their 85th anniversary stuff. Any ideas what the name of this is? Thanks much.

I found a photo of their logo - this is the one I'm trying to find out about:

I suspect that is actually a hand-drawn logotype from the looks of it, but I know of a somewhat similar font... called 'Sweden' that I've used before for the same effect.

Didn't see exact match. It's definitely drawn. The line underneath plus the age. If you've got illustrator and photoshop you can isolate the lettering and trace it. But if you need the whole font just pick one that's close and move on.

Good luck.
