The is a public service announcement. The font used to make Wakoopa.com‘s logo is Glamour Girl. It is free for personal use.

Many thanks to Robert Gaal, one of the co-founders of Wakoopa, who was nice enough to provide me the font information over Twitter. If you think you might geeky enough to find logging your used applications an interesting idea, I greatly recommend his application.

I make note of this information because it would be a grand shame if one were to, say, spend one and a half hours attempting to emulate the typography used in the logo and extrapolate it to create a single word simply because no where on the internet is the font used stated.

It would be especially regretful if the person in question were then to resize the product of his labour to a size that made all the work feel rather insignificant.

Instead, any hypothetical person emulating the Wakoopa logo would do well to smack his words down in Glamour Girl. Oh, and do replace any letter dotting done in hearts.

How does my attempt compare with the real thing? I’m not a huge fan of the a-t letter spacing.
