Hi, I'm new to this forum, so go easy on me. I'm thinking about doing a mashup/parody video that uses the "Darth Vader" scene, replacing the the Van Halen with different audio. I'd like to (but don't have to) tag the video with the influence of the audio on the shot of George's book (probably changing 50% of the front). I can handle replication of the cover, but it your work here looks amazing. ...any chance of trading something (credit, etc...) for the file you have now?
Can't wait to pick up a copy of the new cover if you do a run. All the great items you are now redoing.... How can we NOT replace the versions we already have?first your USA TODAY papers, and now this??? Our wallets will be cursing you later.
Keep up the great work Brad!!
Thanks Rich. I actually got most of the lettering done yesterday since our internet was down at work. All I have left to do is the GEORGE MCFLY letters.
If anyone can find that font for me, I will send them a cover for free.

It looks like the font called: Haettenschweiler
Since you will be redoing it one letter at a time, it looks like you would need to place each letter closer together. Also, you might need to thicken the letters a little. I didn't find a BOLD for this font, so you might need to use the STROKE feature on Photoshop to add maybe one point or two points to the thickness just to match it completely.
Got it. Thanks Rich. I actually already had that font in my library. I'll send a cover along with the newspapers.

"Haettenschweiler" is definitely the wrong font. The closest font is "Compacta Bold". But maybe you want to use my attached PDF.Jedifyfe said:
You are right. I was looking at the wrong photo... I found the font that was on the replica to the left,Roland said:

LOL! I'll see if I can swing you a copy.
Roland! Thank you! I just downloaded that font! PM me your mailing address.
If you want to use the font instead of my PDF, you need to make some corrections on the large letter "M" and the small "c". All the other letters match perfectly.Jedifyfe said:

DUDE you make a pair of nike mags in one day WHAT'S THE DAMN HOLD UP???
I honestly forget about this project. I have the file on my computer at work and everyday I forget to bring the file home to work on it. All I have to do is redo the GEORGE MCFLY name. Soon. I promiss. Unless I forget.
Well I guess it's my job to keep bothering the **** out of you haa
Did anyone at the auction or the comic con notice if this cover had text on the dust jacket flap? The original one that George handled did have some text on it, but I didn't know if the one in the auction had text or not. The auction listing "kinda" made it sound like it did.

Hey guys, I just found this thread (I'll be off to the junkyard to buy a copy next) but I had one though. The end of the book says 'Probert Publishing' Andy Probert was one of the main concept artists on BTTF, did anyone contact him? He probably did the picture on the front. Probert Designs
Just a thought :-)
