hi what is this font please
Carattere Identificato
Antique Olive Nord Italic Suggeriti da SashiX 
SashiX thankyou very much it is similar but the "r" and the "a" look totally different ???
Sony - when it's a logo - most of the time it is handtailored from a base font.
SashiX knows (from that S) that this was fashioned after Antique Olive.
So, if you erased the bar from the "A" and add a white line in the R (to separate) voila - you have the logo.
thanks Heron2001 ...is there anyway to fatten out the font as its a lot skinnier than in the example above
ps many thanks for everyones help always appreciated
