The A's look like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Д" rel="nofollow">the Cyrillic "De"</a>, the L and T have probably just been altered to interlock and look more futuristic, The R is almost exactly like Agency FB Extended Black and the S actually looks like it has been messed with (note the slightly notched spot where a corner doesn't quite line up) <img src="http://blogs.macmerc.com/rick/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/engine_11.jpg-2048×1024-pixels.jpg" alt="notchy S" /> I think the 7 characters in that sample are most likely derived from a typeface like Agency FB Extended Black.

LoL..My sincere apologies for the bad links..let me re try without putting those img brackets. I ran these on the browser windows the link works. In case they don't its the chinese/Jap looking characters you see on Dells AW PCs starting 2007 and up. http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff290/instantmartians/1a-1.jpg http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff290/instantmartians/2a-1.jpg http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff290/instantmartians/4a.jpg They look identical to the Alienware and some used in Farscape as well. I know that Tom Hall of Commander Keen fame in the eighties had nice set like this too and were free. But DellAW seem to to really make prolific use of the on their hardware, but I can't tell who owns what. In fact.Dell lists its designers as a selling point except for that particular design using the letters in question. Can you help shed any light on this as I keep hitting a brick wall finding the designers for the Serenity and the AW. Highest Regards Manny Hi!, and thanx for responding.
