What's up guys,
I'm taking on an identity project for a scooter rental place called "Beach Creek Cruisers" and was wondering if there's anything out there to get me started in the right direction as far as typefaces?
I'm looking for something fun/casual, but not too down-market. Something that a fairly wide demographic can relate to - locals, to tourists, parents who are paying for rentals and the kids who are actually riding them. I would like something that can stand on it's own.That's all I got for now, any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
-R

Whenever i think of cruisers I think of the like the type from the 60/70's that rule the car world.
Like Seville, and El Dorado.
Actually that's not what I think of, I think of a very tight lined script on a vertical with ... it's another car I can't think of it at the moment. For some reason the Beach Boys come to mind.
- Sounds like you're on to something..Neuarmy
- That Streamline typeface... try to do something that feels cruiser but hasn't been done and done.
