Good job!

The first one is DEFINITELY 80ies... What is the name of the font? I remember the cover of a Depeche Mode album with my font on the banner (Depeche Mode, The singles 81>85) and your first font on the pic (dm 81 85) Nice summary with that pic, isn't it? :wink:

The fints i used in that are called

"Digital Dream Fat"
"Failed Attempt"
"superpsionic"
"Raqge Itallic"*
"Pricedown"*
"Automania"+
"Prog.Bot"

* These are both fints from GTA Vice City
+Very similar to the font used by the 80's bar chain "reflex"

Most can be downloaded from www.1001fonts.com
I've put the top one at http://www.dkirkham.myby.co.uk/digitaldreamFat.ttf
