What version of corel are you running, check under TEXT and see if you have (what's the font) if that doesn't help try dafont dot com and do a search for the font you need, they are free and easy to download.
good luck

Ray,

Do you need complete logo or just font recreated?
If you are looking for all then contact William Desrochers our logo guy on the forum.

I doubt your going to find a font that is going to give you that appearance. This was created by starting with a font and then applying an envelope with the Envelope tool. If you had a better graphic, you could just trace the one you have, but unfortunately this one is not going to trace too well.

I went to their web site and looked for a pdf with a logo, sometimes you get lucky, but I didn't find one. Then I checked a couple of doc files and found a logo that didn't look to bad. It is titled "bout de souffle.doc".

I put it in CorelDraw and did a "Quick Trace" and it's not too bad.

I dont know if this will help anyone out or not or maybe every one knows about this website already.
But for logos and things of that nature we have been using a web site called: www.brandsoftheworld.com (http://www.brandsoftheworld.com)

They have eps artwork of many things there. If you have never used it before it is worth earmarking this.

Hope that helps some of you out in the future.

You can always us What The Font http://new.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/ to try and figure out the exact font used, then locate it on the web. I have used it a lot to find an obsure font a customer brings in and wahts on a sign or engraved.

Just upload a small file to the site answer a couple of questions and they give you several possibilities.
