Does anyone know what typeface is used and what size the letters G3 are?
That is a very good idea.Try running it through the website What The Font.
The issue is going to be that you only have two characters - it will struggle to narrow it down.That is a very good idea.
I tried it just now with the picture MacUp72 supplied above but it is too vague.
I'll go hunting for better pictures after work tonight.
I can well imagine that happening. And, in those two weeks, nothing was more important to either of them.I imagine Jobs and Ives arguing two weeks about the shape of the G.
Wish you'd gotten back sooner... it's back together now.Woudl you do me the favour of measuring the height of the letters please?
Don't worry about it. It won't be hard to get.Wish you'd gotten back sooner... it's back together now.
Is that a G4?I can't help with the type and size, but as it happened I'm replacing a cracked side panel today, so snapped you these :

Apple's corporate font was a variation of Garamond called Apple Garamond for many years. Most of their adverts and case test and manual covers and other stuff were Apple Garamond through the 80s and 90s at least.Helvetica Black is a good match, a bit of twisting and bending and its good..
I noticed that with the earlier PowerBook font, it's basis is a Adobe Garamond Pro bold but it certainly was altered.

Compare it to Triumvirate Heavy from Agfa Type.The 3 looks like a near-perfect match to Helvetica Black, but the G doesn’t quite line up. There are a few adjustments, condensing it slightly and straightening the lower stem of the G.
