I’m currently putting together an ad for a friend and they cannot remember what fonts they used for their logo. I would use the logo they have, but it’s too small. So, I have to rebuild it myself. I managed to use a web based font identifyer for the larger letters in the logo, but did not have any luck with the smaller letters. So I turn here to the Teaming Millions. The font I’m looking for is for the words “Apparel & More”
Anyhow, I’ve looked through pages and pages of fonts on both identifont.com and whatthefont.com, and I can’t for the life of me find the typeface. The letter “A” should be a dead give-away, with the crossbar hanging over the left stem the way it is.
That doesn’t look like it to me. The serifs are wrong, the crossbar doesn’t go through the “A,” the “O” is vertical rather than left-tilted, the lower part of the curve of the “P” has a different height than the crossbar on the “A,” the top of the “A” is pointed rather than flat, etc.
Goudy Stout isn’t it, but it’ll do for a substitute. If that’s a little too funky, try Elephant.
(I feel dirty for enabling the perpetuation of such a design monstrosity. A definite front runner for Why Not to Hire Your Nephew to Design Your Web Page.)
That’s what I suspect as well. And whoever did design that site did put in a great effort to use as many of those 500 fonts as possible. I’m counting about nine different fonts (looks like seven typefaces to me) there plus about another ten, give or take one or two, fonts in all the company logos. That’s about twenty fonts on a single web page. This is quite awesome.
OK, I agree it’s a design mess, but I don’t think this is quite fair: you have to leave out the brand name logos, if they’re going to have them at all (admittedly they are not necessary) then they will each be in their own font. Then the different versions of “Scrubs” on the left - again a questionable design choice, but clearly they are doing it on purpose to draw attention to the fact that they sell scrubs. That leaves the right third, and when you again take out the store logo “Marie’s Medical Apparel & More”, what’s left is all composed of variations on one font (or face if you want to be more technical).
Well, I would never make something that looks like that, but I’ll bet it wasn’t the nephew designer but the store owner who insisted on including all the product logos and also the “Scrubs” variations.
Now, as for the OP, I used to have a huge catalog of typefaces at home. If I haven’t thrown it out (because I stopped designing lo! these many years ago) I will check when I get home. None of the suggestions above are even close (sorry guys).

That’s why I included the brand name logos as a separate count. You can make the choice whether to count them or not. Personally, I think it is fair to include them. Visually, they are part of the design so, to me, all the different typefaces in the logos count in this fontacular monstrosity. Were I designing, I would not have included logos for each brand because, even if the rest of the design were limited to two or three tasteful fonts, the fonts in the logos would still make it a visual mess. Just MHO. And we haven’t even touched on the color scheme.
