Ed Big Daddy Roth
Rich Roat of House Industries has this to say: I wanted to point out that the "Rat Finkbats" are directly taken from our "Rat Fink Fonts". These are highly detailed illustrations done by Ken Barber in 1996 and are sold as part of the Rat Fink Font collection. Part of the proceeds from each sale go to the estate of Ed "Big Daddy" Roth. Credit for the Finkbats should go to Ken Barber and, well, the Snoopy dings maybe should go to Charles Schultz. [...] We licensed the names "Ed 'Big Daddy' Roth", "Rat Fink" and "Fink Fonts" directly from Ed Roth in 1995 for this and some other projects. Ken drew those icons specifically for the "Fink Fonts" and they are called the "Monster Icons". We pay a quarterly licensing fee to the estate of Ed "Big Daddy" Roth based on the sales of the Rat Fink fonts. The Fink series at House Industries consists of Fink Bold (1996), Fink Brush (1996), Fink Casual (1996), Fink Condensed (1996), Fink Gothic (1996), Fink Heavy (1996), Fink Roman (1996), and Fink Sans (1996). |
