Hi All,

I'm designing a little lapel pin for a UK-based karate organisation, and I'd like to spell "UK" with karate people (the "K" being someone doing a high kick, not sure what the "U" could be).

I'm hoping to find an existing font or dingbat series that is made up of people doing martial arts, can anyone point me to just such an animal? (googling "karate" has found tons of fonts written in a faux oriental style, not what I'm looking for, unfortunately).

The alternative is for me to photograph people in the necessary poses, but the final figures on the pin are going to be about 1cm tall, and doing this from scratch is going to be far too much work for the level of detail I need in the end.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Chas

Wow, I never thought that there would be a font of people actually doing proper karate, rather than a font of people doing karate and made to look like letters in the alphabet, which is actually what I'm looking for. Know anything like that (or even better, can you let me know how you found the one you showed me, so that I can look around myself?)

I very much appreciate the effort you made, thanks!

Since I had nothing to do and a fast conection I looked for ya. Thats about all I could find. I did find a few of people in lettershapes but none doing karate. I just googled for free fonts and then did a search on those pages for sports.
