The two type faces that a like or Helvetica and Verdana.
Helvetica is a widely used sans-serif typeface developed in 1957 by Swiss typeface designer Max Miedinger with Eduard Hoffmann.
Since the font was designed in 1957 a few other variation was made through the years.
Helvetica Rounded (1978)
Neue Helvetica (1983)
Neue Helvetica W1G (2009)
Neue Haas Grotesk (2010)
Here is a few logo's and movie posters that we see everyday that use Helvetica.
Verdana is a humanist sans-serif typeface designed by Matthew Carter for Microsoft Corporation, with hand-hinting done by Thomas Rickner, then at Monotype. Demand for such a typeface was recognized by Virginia Howlett of Microsoft'stypography group. The name "Verdana" is based on a portmanteau of verdant (something green), and Ana
(the name of Howlett's eldest daughter)
Here is a few logo's and movie posters that we see everyday that use Verdana.
This is one of the logos in this century that makes us see Verdana on a daily basis's. I'm sure many people don't know what font it is but because its one of my favourites I notice it from that day I found out about
