John Howard Carpenter is an American filmmaker, screenwriter and composer. Although Carpenter has worked with various movie genres, he is associated most commonly with horror, action, and science fiction films of the s and s. Carpenter had a preference for Kurt Russel and the Albertus font casting the former in a lot of his movies and making the latter one of his trademarks. His films and soundtracks made and performed for his films were such a big influence on 80s culture that I decided to dedicate a separate section in this post.

Here are some "carpenteresque" movies and some info about 80s fonts used in their titles or credits.

Prince of Persia was a wonderful game both aesthetically and technically. I've contacted the creator of Prince of Persia, Jordan Mechner, through his website.

Stephen King is the undisputed master of the horror genre. Probably that's why the fonts used for his name on most of his books is now associated with this genre.

The title for that TV series uses this very typeface. One of my personal favorite book, Ender's Game is a sci-fi masterpiece. Orson Scott Card's book was published in and had a beautiful book cover design made by John Harris. I contacted John Harris via his agent who was kind enough to answer my emails. I found out that the title on the book cover of Ender's Game was actually not John Harris's choice, but the publisher's.

This is often the case with most books. We looked at 80s fonts in movies, video games and books. But, perhaps one of the most defining characteristic of the 80s was music. I've looked at several music albums to try and gather what fonts did the 80s album covers use.

Two years after Led Zeppelin officially disbanded after the death of their drummer John Bonham, the album Coda was released in The Coda album cover contained a typeface font called "Neon" which was designed by Bernard Allum in The font's main characteristic is the fact that all letters are made using a single continuous line making it perfect for neon signs. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a free version of the font, but there's paid version called Ampacity that resembles the font quite well.

This kicked off a huge boost for graphic design and the creation of music videos, something that was rather scarce at the time. A lot of synthwave bands choose retro vintage fonts for their album covers and the design style of these covers has become known as "OutRun" design. OutRun meaning: A modern retro design trend which takes its name probably from the old arcade game "Out run". The game had a chrome-like logo which is emblematic for the 80s futuristic design style.

OutRun was also the name of the debut album of the french artist Kavinsky Vincent Belorgey. His music is greatly influenced by the s music and is considered representative for synthwave music. Kavinsky's music achieved mainstream recognition after it was chosen for the film Drive , starring Ryan Gossling. A fan created an alternative Drive movie poster in the "OutRun" design style. The poster became super popular and was adopted as an official movie poster.

This design style has been used a lot especially with the comeback of the 80s music styles known as synthwave, retrowave or futuresynth. Outrun Wallpaper by Photoshop Supply. Almost all OutRun designs have a few common elements that try to render the look of the 80s: Gradient chrome text Perspective grid 80s Retro sun with stripes and palm trees silhouettes Neon like text A neon triangle Old race car sometimes with light trails.

This design looks like an 80s album cover. But, I made it with Photoshop and a free, premade 80s text template from PhotoshopSupply. It only took me only a couple of minutes. The template also includes a beautiful 80s background from Textures4Photoshop and I've aded this nice neon glowing triangle also from Textures4Photoshop. I did a lot of digging to figure out where the elements of OutRun design come from originally and here's what I found:.

Starting in the 50s car manufacturers started to exagerate with the use of chrome plating - from chrome logos to chrome fender decorations. During the following years though to the 60s, 70s and 80s chrome plating began to be widely used as a symbol of the future.

Somehow, people in those times thought that in the future everything will be made of chrome. There was also an obsession with robots, also a symbol of the future. So, it was only natural to have chrome plated robots. Remember the cylon centurions from Battlestar Galactica ? Also, note the exagerated starburst effect.

This is something that is often included in outrun design to emphasize the shiny nature of chrome. Chrome robots and chrome text was very widely used in the 80s. I think one of the most amazing example making use of chrome is the art of Hajime Sorayama. One of his female chrome robots was used in November of on the cover of the sci-fi magazine Heavy Metal chrome text with chiseled bevel and starbursts :.
