Need for Speed: Carbon is a racing video game released on October 31, 2006, and the tenth installment in the Need For Speed series. Developed by EA Black Box and published by Electronic Arts, it was released for the PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox, Xbox 360, GameCube, Wii, Windows, and Mac OS X.

The “Need For Speed” logotype is based on Serpentine Sans, modified to feature a hyper-extended exit stroke for S. It’s unclear if “Carbon” is based on a font, or custom drawn.

The back cover combines 911 Porscha (italicized), Comsat Navy Box, Rally, and Helvetica Condensed.
