That almost looks like a "Ransom" font to me

yeah - ransomish but not quite ransom.

I'm not 100% sure that it is an existing font but the "City" looks vaguely familiar

Taff,

It looks like a collection of several different fonts to me. The reason I say that is in the word "city", the "C" is sorta thin, the "T" is thick and the "Y" has those little thin lines at the top and bottom (think those are called serifs). ?? I'll keep my eye out when font searching though.

d-m,

You could very well be right. However, there are some fonts, like Ransom, that are an intentional mish-mash. I was kind of hoping that it might be recognized as one of those.

Thanks Busy! The Embosst is pretty close. Not identical but I could probably pull it off

Cheers!
Since Im hung over, after a long night of drinking,
i quickly noticed that I wasnt to efficient on the PC.

I figured I wight aswell play the name that font game.
So I booted up Suitcase and loaded my some thousand font files and started the quest for the missing font.

I could go on here for many more lines, but to keep it short : I didnt find your fonts! huh

I found howerver another randsomish font, Anonymous.
( Also located on Adobe Fontfolio ) - This font however, it isnt nice - really bad infact - but still randsomish.

The first font ( open ), could be something like :
Smash
But its probably the one mentioned, or :
Embossing Tape 3 ( download )

Browsing fonts is really timeconsuming..
Regarding the second font, I think I must agree with one of the first posts - that this is not 1 single font, but several fonts put together.

oh well, hope any of this helps.. probably doesnt but.. Laughing out loud

hmmm...
I used to think that work was everything... it isnt...

It looks like a combination of fonts...

Open is obviously its own font

the 'C' is almost some sort of swiss font
the 'i' might be from Devil Inside (or similar)
the 'Y' is definitely Grotto (also known as THE MATRIX)

I don't think its ransom or anything like that. I think someone just made that using a bunch of random fonts.

As far as the "OPEN", it is or is close to a font I've used called "Punch Label"
