Hoover Elite bag lettering

[vacuumman206]

I might be stretching the 20 year mark by a couple years..... I have two older elites (5.0 and 6.0) that the lettering on the bag got worn off when I carelessly washed them one time. I just came up with the idea that possibly a friend I have who's mom does screen printing could make new hot-press on letterings. Wouldn't be the same as the original because it would be like a decal, but its better than how I fixed it. Does anyone know the font types for HOOVER and Top-Fill Bag? and the other says Deluxe Top-Fill Bag system, and I think "Bag system" was a different font too. So that's 3 different fonts.

Other concern is would the hot press machine ruin the bag. My thoughts is the cloth is similar to the t-shirts that traditionally go in the press so what's the difference?

I don't know about Top-Fill Bag lettering, but Arial Black is the closest to the Hoover logo, if I remember right.

The "Hoover" Logo looks like this....

<span style="font-family: arial black,avant garde; font-size: xx-large;">HOOVER <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">And this is the official Hoover logo, the one I didf in arial black is pretty close but not quite as bold as the offical one.</span></span>

The typeface used for the words "Top-Fill Bag" and "Deluxe Top-Fill Bag System" is called Handel Gothic, which is the same font used for the general wording on the hood.

For the Hoover logo, try Helvetica Black. Of all the common fonts this seems to be the closest match to the original.
