Hi guys, I designed a fan grill for a few applications (watercooling HC shrouds and single fan desings) and I am gonna put the Xs symbol in the center section of the grill. You can get an idea from the rendering (thanks malph). anyway, I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for the symbol shape and design. I really want to know what font Fugger used for the Xs symbol and also, what size the text ratio should be between the two. Thanks for any help you can provide.

BTW, please dont offer suggestions on the design of hte fan grill itself other than the XS symbol. That part of the design was carefully laid out by me and is finalized. These will be a very low production run item and I wont be doing custom designed grills any time soon. (I think there is a few companies around the net that do that if your interested)

Anyway, thanks for taking a look and here is the grill.

HAHA! I found the text. I went through 3dsmax with every single font that I have and found that Trebuche MS Bold Italic is the one that is quite exactly the font that I need.

looks pretty good, the small "grate" will keep airflow nice and quiet.

That was most certianly my first concern. Since we are all performance orientated here at XS i wanted a grill that would show the least impediance to airflow.
