I've got the client waiting on aim for me to complete the final steps to this project. All he wants is this font, (the one that says TIMBO) to be used for the text.

If someone could help me, i'd gladly appreciate it.

It looks like Arial BLACK with some effects applied to it. But the T is custom.

Sorry sir, I've tried messing with the font itself, and it is not Impact.

I appreciate your posting and trying to help.

Ever wanted to have a font just like the one used by certain publications, corporations, or ad campaigns? Well now you can, using the WhatTheFont font recognition system. Upload a scanned image of the font and we'll show you the closest matches in our database!

Going by the above site, the font is
Tasse-BlackWide (http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/fontbureau/tasse/blackwide/), a font from Font Bureau Family 'Tasse'.

Yes. The desired look can be achieved by using multiple fonts listed in the results page and w/ slight adjustments.

There is no need to use multiple fonts...I overlaid Haettenschweiler that I modified slightly to get this match.

Looks good, 'B' and 'O' could use little bit of work to make the empty spaces in them narrower to match the original.

A man on a galloping horse will not notice the difference. :D

If you want perfection I can create those letters exactly as you see then using Illustrator.

I am not sure that I can do that. Fonts have copyrights and licences. I have no Idea what the license states for that particular font. I am not going to just take the chance. Sorry. Maybe someone else can help you. :(
