Ragtag Fugitive Font

I was at a few Antique Malls yesterday, trying to transport myself back to 1978 to find more Classic Battlestar Galactica collectable items. During my treasure hunt something caught my eye... it was "the Galactica font" out of the corner of my Cylon eye. In a glance as I scanned booths and booths clutter I knew what it was. We all know it; it's instantly recognizable and iconic. It was on a DVD case and I thought *OH BOY* some fan made film perhaps? Or some obscure video I was unaware of with adventures of the Colonials and Cylons I've never seen?! NO! It was REEFER MADNESS!

WTF

I had to take pictures to share with you. And I got the idea for this thread - here is the challenge for all you other site members. Seek out the Ragtag Fugitive Font! Look for other examples of the BSG font used for something totally non-BSG. I'm sure there are more items out there... other lost tribes of the BSG font... just like REEFER MADNESS.

Just a little bit - 42 years before Battlestar

in 1936
Good work, Skullbeast. You know your reefer

Its correct name is "Tell Your Children."

But they didn't use the ragtag font back-in-the-day... I think the DVD I found is a modern day LOW cost re-issue or boot-leg reproduction. Maybe done by some crazy stoner who likes BSG!? heehee

Another sighting of our "Ragtag Fugitive Font" ... from another TV show this time.
http://www.mavtv.com/shows/ford-gt-an-a ... -icon.html
Ford GT, An American Icon takes an in-depth look at one of the most revered American sports cars in history. From its racing roots at the famed 24 Hours of Le Mans to the limited availability as a consumer model, the Ford GT is legendary among car enthusiasts. We meet the engineers, technicians, drivers and current owners of this extraordinary racing machine.

What better way to have an awesome show, about an awesome car... than to use an awesome font!?

I wonder if that was Glen's idea for the font.
