Hmm, i wonder if Iron Maiden is receiving credit for the blatant rip-off of the font they’ve been using for the past 25+ years.
Sorry, but it’s an odd choice given that it’s immediately identifiable with Iron Maiden. Am I missing a joke???

It’s not a ‘rip off’. We’re just using the same or similar font. For an explanation see: http://gavinfriday.com/about/
So yeah, you’re missing the point.

I have no interest in getting in a pissing match with you and I’m sure you (as the designer) feel it’s a good font choice. Still, that font is practically instantly identifiable with Iron Maiden and even Ray Larabie, the guy who designed “Metal Lord” acknowledges the Iron Maiden influence. One doesn’t need to be a marketing genius to question this branding choice.
“So yeah, you’re missing the point.”
What exactly is the point? If there is one, I’m sure I’m not the only one missing it.

Is there any particular reason why you are being so aggressive and rude?
The point is, the client wants this font for the reasons explained on the site.
