Lucida Grande

We are starting a series called "Spiritual network" about how everything we do as a Christian effects other Christians around us. And hopefully it has a positive effect.

After some research, it seems that the facebook font probably started as Lucida Grande and got hand tweaked.

I don't have Lucida Grande, so I was wondering if someone could create a couple of PNGs (or GIFs) for me, with

Spiritual Network

and

Spiritual
Network

white text on a transparent background.

I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks.

If someone doesn't tackle this by the time I get home . . . I'm pretty sure I have that font.

Regular weight or bold? Can you use a PSD with a shape layer (which will resize better than a PNG)?

Klavika is closer than Lucida Grande (if it matters to you)

Whichever is more like the facebook logo. I'm guessing bold.

A PSD shape layer would be great.

Thanks for the info about Klavika. I'll be doing a lot of the other work in Lucida Sans Unicode, so the Grande will go well with that.

Thanks! I knew I could count on this crew.

Attached is a PSD with the text as shape layers. Let me know if that doesn't work for you.

Lucida_Grande comes with OS X, and is apparently very similar to Lucida Sans except for a few characters.

Thanks. I'll take a look when I'm on a computer with Photoshop.

Thanks for all the help, but we decided to go a slightly different direction, so I went with Lucida Sans Unicode as close enough so I could have the flexibility to do what I need when I need


As you can tell by these support stlides, we didn't concentrate on the Godsbook play on words, but stuck with the Spiritual network. The pastor just thought that the Godsbook would look really good on the opening screen.

One of the congregants took a picture of the pastor with the sign on screen overhead and posted it on facebook.

The metaphor goes full circle.
