Red Alert 2 font for a logo

Is there a Red Alert 2 game font available so I can make a logo with it in Photoshop?

This is what I found
https://www.dafont.com/c-c-red-alert-inet.font

You can also take a screenshot of the font you're looking for and find an online font identifier that will tell you exactly what font it is or something close to it.

I wanted to ask the same question but not "exactly" the same, what about the logo's font? I see that many mods are using the same font as RA2's logo (like Mental Omega's logo) and the same font used by the logo of YR (like Rise of the East mod).

@PussyPus: I created the Mental Omega logo using the actual typeface used on the official logo.

Red Alert 2 (Also used in the original C&C logo):
Futura Extra Bold: https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/linotype/futura/

Yuri's Revenge:
Serpentine Bold: https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/linotype/serpentine/

The "2" in the logo is a slightly modified number 2 from "Eurostile Black:

The "Serpentine Bold" link leads to "Futura".

So do have to pay to use the C&C/RA2/YR logos (or their fonts) now since we now know the font is... 'proprietary'/pay-to-use?

On the topic of logos, did WW make their own font for TS/FS? It sure looks like it, and someone made a "Tiberium" font too (https://fonts2u.com/tiberium.font).

Yes and no, the official font used is a modified version of the Chisel font, ironically with less chiseling.

Thank you so much! I already expected it would be not free, but never expected it would that expensive, to me both RA2 and YR fonts are almost like 1007 EGP, I'll try to afford as quick as I can.
OFFTOPIC but somehow related: I know I didn't find a job yet, but whether I'm still in university or already finished it, It's not easy to find one, especially if I like a certain job.

@TAK02: Thanks, fixed the link!

The "Tiberium" font you linked to should be kicked into orbit. It's very, very, badly produced.

Crimsonum is somewhat correct. About 8 years ago I managed to track it down to a derivative of the original font, Ultra Serif.

Chisel is another deriviative of this font. The original seems been created in 70's and is actually called Checkmate. https://fontsinuse.com/typefaces/16922/checkmate

Checkmate. Shown in an undated Schaedler catalog and credited to Bob Quinzel. Shown in Photo-Lettering’s Advance Showing #21 (1973). Also appears in the 1976 Lettergraphics catalog (but not in one from 1969). Offered by Formatt as Tournament and by Characters of NY as Mercury Zephyr. Versions from Castcraft, Brendel, and SoftMaker (used for the sample) were issued as Cornered. Also inspired Gamer (Canada Type, 2004).

The designer at Westwood Studios modified the vertices manually to remove some of the indents for the TibSun logo.

@PussyPus: No problem, if you have any others you need identifying, I would be happy to help.
