Description:
It's PacMan fever all over again! This was inspired by the world's best pound for pound boxer, Manny Pacquiao, a.k.a. "PacMan." His awesome knockout bout with Ricky Hatton last Saturday, May 2nd, in Las Vegas, marked a major victory in the acquisition of his 6th world title. His hands are so fast I have to wait for the slo-mo to figure out what happened.
The letters M & P from Manny Pacquiao's logo became the foundation to create all of the letters in this font. The logo resides on the capital A, the rest of the letters are in the lower case. Enjoy.
"I'm gonna knock you out! Mama said knock you out! Breakdown!" -LL

Thanks for the uplifting words everyone. I got obsessive over this after figuring I can recreate the logo.


@afrojet: Thanks for noticing. The Q was the last thing I modified before releasing.


@emepar: The sun is actually part of the Philippine flag, so I overlaid a rotated flag and positioned it to match the sun in the sample.

how long did it take you to build this font because it is amazing!

@aaronamar: Thank you.

@Axel Leyer: Thanks. I like the new stuff you've released as well.

@wong111: Here's a link for instructions.

@thalamic: Thanks, Ata. I was beginning to worry about you. ;-)

@incorected: I saw the logo after the fight on Saturday night. On Sunday, discovered I can recreate the logo, but only in 1:2 scale. Designed all cap glyphs and spacing by Tuesday. Actual hours are unknown, since it was sporadic while working on other things. But this one was fun to do.

geneus1 Thu, 14th May, 2009

@kix: Thanks. That's the logo on the capital A. The caps have just been moved to the lowercase glyphs.
