  I have a client that wants a "Native American" looking font. Any suggestions?

  Thanks in advance.

  that's kinda oxymoronic....they used pictograms IF they had a written language....kinda juxtaposing two cultures that are very different from each other (native american and phonetics)

  i'd just go with something that was very traditional....something like a elegant serif face or something.....

  Hee hee. Actually, she has kind of a new age/spiritual business so I am thinking something a little more sophisticated than above font ;), but still calligraphic I guess. I just hope it's not another request for Papyrus in disguise :)

  • Is this person native-american?– designbot1/2

    I have not met her in person so I can't say for sure, but going by her last name, no. However, her business involves native americans– theredmasque2/2

  Are you sure they didn't have letters? I just saw an old dictionary from the 60s the other day. They used 8 instead of u.

  tell the client that anything that looks native american lumps thousands of tribes together and does a great disservice to the indigent and your client. they should be more specific if they want dineh, lakota, deleware, etc.

  • but even that is not a good idea.– jaylarson

  Well, I am going to give her several options for a logo. and play up the one with the font I think suits best, which won't be a cheesy "Native" font. But I don't really think that is what she wants. I actually thinks she wants a more calligraphic font. but we'll see. I am thinking of a logo that uses a bird/sun wheel type of icon, so I'll see what best plays with that.

  Thanks for the advice so far (the serious replies anyway lol)
