Queen's Type Font

They also used it for Deep Cuts and the first edition of the Queen Extravaganza logo ;)

I guess it's a designer favourite at QPL towers!

yep, I've noticed that before but never could figure out which font those titles belonged to.

Even tho I don't think I'm gonna use this font in particular in the future LOL

I beg to differ with Flareserif. True, the font existed when Queen released The Miracle as the designer, Berthold Wolpe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berthold_Wolpe) died in 1989, thus he must have created that font before then. But, being someone who has studied fonts as part of my graphic design course at university, I see far too many differences personally between the Queen logo on The Miracle album and that font.

One thing that can be gathered from looking closely at The Miracle album and the related singles is that the "Queen" logo font differs to the font used for the album/single title. The closest, and I'm almost certain is the actual, font I have found that is used on the title for the albums/singles is "ITC Elan" http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/itc/elan/ .

"Queen", on the other hand, I have discovered to have a very close likeness to the Friz Quadrata font http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/linotype/friz-quadrata/ which I feel is very similar apart from very minor modifications to the "N" in "Queen". As you can see, it does bear great similarities to ITC Elan, but most of the character do have distinct differences.

Personally, I feel these two fonts are far far closer to the real font than Flareserif, but I'm happy to be corrected if someone can find a closer match

That's right, no Flareserif.

The Miracle fonts are mix between Elan and Fitz Quadrata (Law & Order US tv show)
