Does anyone know what the font Sega used for the "Dreamcast" logo is?

This is a pic of the word "dreamcast" ..... looking for the font. I would be your friend forever if someone emailed it to me.

Hey Mooky I'm tempted to say it;s either Myriad or tahoma as they;re both very close (also verdana).

I just ran across this site that has templates for game covers (sadly they arnt all professional print quality), ... I dont think they have the font in a downloadable format but the PAL file has a nice big dreamcast logo in a resolution higenough that you can probably beat it into what you need.

I believe they're all in PSD format.

Sned an email to sega - it was probably created internally specifically for the Dreamcast. Since it's a dead system, they might be willing to share...

I'm curious, why do you need to know "EXACTLY" what it is?

He's converting Dreamcast games into DVD cases (which is a very cool idea I may add). I'm sure he needs the font for something on this project.
