Both Terminator Real NFI and SteelWolf Medium (two of the most popular Terminator fonts) were created long after both The Terminator (1984) and Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) had been released. The onscreen logotype and titles by Pacific Title for T1, T2, and even T3, all utilize a phototype known in pre-digital form as Earth. Dan X. Solo managed to provide an ID (http://luc.devroye.org/DanSolo-Earth.gif) in one of his many Dover Publications books on typography. Elfring Fonts (http://www.elfring.com/earth.htm) created a somewhat altered digital family of fonts, also called Earth, during the 1990's. It's possible that Elfring Fonts created the original 1970's typeface but it's also possible that they simply have access to the original phototype film reels or samples. Either way, they have not released a more historically accurate version of Earth in digital form.

Earlier uses of Earth predate 1984's The Terminator by many years, as this titling on Frederik Pohl's 1977 novel Gateway (http://smsa.org.au/assets/gateway-frederik-pohl.jpg) proves. Not to mention being featured in numerous other films and TV shows of the 1980's, including Blade Runner [license plate props] (1982), Automan (1983), Tightrope (1984), Airwolf (1984), and Humanoid Defender (1985).

So there you have it. Earth has been around since the 1970's and is an exact match (with a little digital tweaking) for the Terminator logotype and titles. No one usually gets a proper ID as it's not for sale on the regular font sites and, therefore, not in the ID databases for MyFonts, Identifont, etc...

If you see anybody suggesting Terminator Real NFI or SteelWolf Medium, please direct them here.

In the coming weeks will upload the TERMINATOR set I have created as a type set bundle that creates the TERMINATOR typeface that you see. My version is not a rip off version nor a re-edited version of the EARTH as everyone keeps recommending. The sets mentioned have taken a year to do. On and off so please when downloading when I put them on site to download don't re-name or rip off. I done the sets mentioned on the site as there was no match to anything anyone was looking so I created my own and im sharing. If that trust is broken ill take the sets down.

The earliest use of the Earth font I have seen is from Sanford and Son. The episode is "The Masquerade Party" broadcast on 31st January 1975. It was used on a sign for a game show called "Wheel and Deal". https://youtu.be/qIVdBCO9QiQ?t=501

@dx7 Nice find there. Looks as if the slanted A here has a break in its crossbar similar to the Amdek Corp. logo from 1981.

Here's a few other samples I've seen but have yet to pinpoint exact dates for. Books, films, and TV are better to use as most will have a specific year of print/release/broadcast. A lot of loose print ads and posters do not contain enough information unless they are within a dated or copyrighted publication.

Reforma established in 1971 by the American Library Association. I cannot confirm whether the logo was used as early as 1971.

Overhoff Technology Corporation founded in 1972. I cannot confirm whether the logo was used as early as 1972.

Superior Coach Company were re-branded in the mid 1970's after being acquired by Sheller-Globe Corporation in 1969. I've seen samples of the re-branding allegedly from 1973/4 but cannot confirm these dates.

The Terminator2 fonts presented were similar but slightly different. Does anyone know the correct font?
