Here is a colection of band logoes and record company emblems for a variety of Techno, Industrial, and Synthpop groups.
What kind of stuff is in here? Well...
Moby: The "Move" Moby logo
The Orb: Recent logo
Depeche Mode: The Corbijn "dM", the "bong" horn, a Black Celebration bullhorn, the "paintswashes" from SoFaD, the Black Celebration "DM" banner and the "Violator" rose. (These guys get a lot of logoes, don't they?)
Erasure: the "e" logo and the "erasure" script logo.
Nine Inch Nails: Gothic NIN, "Sin" and "NIN" logoes from the "Sin single, and the backwards Broken "n."
808 State: The "Gorgeous" logo
Record Labels: Mute (old and new), Sire, Reprise, Instinct, TVT, Elektra
Misc: The U2 "Zooropa" Spaceman.
That's all I have now. Subsequent releases may have more, depending on input from users. If you come up with any ideas, let me know and I'll try to incorporate them into the next release. Pictures would be helpful.
And now the pitiful shareware plea: please send me money. $5 would be nice. Whatever you can muster. As I usually say, the adoration of countless women and interantional fame and fortune would be nice if you can send that, but I'll settle for email if it's all you can afford. To contact me about my snailmail address (which changes occasionally) send me email at:

So what's with this Kiwi thing? Kiwi Media is a little computer arts group I formed in the mid eighties so I had something to put in the credits for the Apple // animations that I had been working on. Since that time, it has grown to encompass almost two people and hold assets in the dozens of dollars.
I'm also going to plug the UPL shamelessly right here: The UPL is the University of Wisconsin's CS Undergraduate Projects Lab. It is a completely student administrated and coordinated computer lab, a place for students interested in learning programming and system administration can work independently in an environment conducive to such activities. We currently have three workstations (two DEC 5000s and an HP 9000) and a two old HP's that we use for XTerms. If you know of any group interested in donating equipment to this lab, which is one of only two or three such labs in the world, please contact me. All our equipment is donated, and we are completely non-profit (all time and effort is donated too).
Ok, enough of that. Here's a list of fonts currently in existence that are made by Kiwi media:
Devotion: A font based on the brushstroke handwriting on the cover of dM's "Songs of Faith and Devotion."
Erasure: based on the curvy sans outline font on the cover of recent erasure albums.
SinGothic: A cool fractured font extrapolated from the cover of the NIN "Sin" single.
Ambient: A sort of elegant embellished sans font based on the cover of the Moby album "Ambient."
Ultraworld: The font used on the cover of recent albums by The Orb.
Technobats: You've got this right here.
Non-album cover fonts:
Bajoran: The title font from Deep Space Nine.
Trekbats: A truly staggering array of trek logoes and emblems, including small pictures of various starships.
Kroebern: A script font taken from the 18th century script found on german manuscripts and official records.
Non-Fonts:
Starships volume 1: A collection of Infini-D 2.0 starship models that look neat but render quickly and have enough space left over for customization.
Warbird: A short quicktime movie of a Romulan Warbird decloaking. Rendered.
Predator: A klingon bird of prey flies over and fires. A short rendered QT movie.
The Substandard Model, A Ridiculously Short History of Time, and Chaos in Everyday Life: The definitive physics humour trilogy. PS files.
Thanks for your support, and watch for more interesting and unusual fonts and such from Kiwi Media. Suggestions and comments are appreciated.
