I had my suspicions, but now having seen the new album artwork I'm almost certain the people who did the graphics have used the font I put together a few years back and posted in this thread:
http://www.jamirotalk.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5153&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
All the letters and numbers I had to make from scratch that are used seem to be the same - even the dodgy "S" that I was never happy with, lol.
Funny. _________________

Royalties! You just need a writing expert or forensic to analyse it _________________

By the way why is the "r" and "o" of "rock" not together on the album cover as in the jamiroquai name _________________ All of my vision were untrue Till I had a vision of YOU |

I think they must have used lower-case letters for the album title. With the font I made, the only way to get the linked "r" and "o" is by using a captial "R".
You can see they made this mistake with the writing at the end of the White Knuckle Ride Walk-on clip on YouTube from a few weeks back.
Lower-case "r" in Jamiroquai, and Capital "R" in Rock.
Amateurs!

Just remembered that in the album cover of Synkronized.
The "r" and "o" here are linked to each other!
How did they do it then? _________________ All of my vision were untrue Till I had a vision of YOU |

They didn't use the font I put together for the Synk album title - I made it in 2006 well after Synkronized had come out! You can also see the "k", "s" and the tail of the "y" used in Synkronized is a different shape from the one I did (can't remember why I didn't make them the same).
But to get the linked letters when typing is quite simple. For Synk you would type it "synkRnized" and for Rock you would type "Rck" _________________

ok understood.
Just still don't get it why they didn't link the r and o in the new album as they did it in Synkronized. I just love it when they are linked _________________ All of my vision were untrue Till I had a vision of YOU |

"Jamiroquai" is a kind of logo. It's a kind of picture, I wouldn't see it as a word. When the logo font is also used for subtitles or other words (I wouldn't do that, by the way..) then it is ok to just use the normal letters in my opinion, because those words are not meant to be a logo.
Then again, I wouldn't have used it in the Synk title either, but that probably happend, because the designer was too lazy to create the letter "r" without the "o"...

Yeah it's definitely not a font for "reading" as such. I think they've used it too much on the new album artwork. _________________
