Good Day all,
About 15 years ago I designed a logo for a client and now I need to edit the logo. Unfortunately I no longer have the original art and most importantly the font used to create the logo.
If anyone could identify the font used to create the word 'Easygrow' I'd be very appreciative.
Thanks,
jdc

Hell, I couldn't uploade an image here.
OK, let's try it this way - your font is close to both of these:

Another good source to identify your font.
Would help if you could align the characters to a baseline:

I don't know what the font is called as a font, but it's based on an old script used in Italy (especially) called "round gothic" or sometimes "ogival". That's based on calligraphy, not typography where "gothic" means something entirely different - which calligraphers call "grotesk" or "sans serif"

The font is Black Chancery. I rotated and moved the fonts to the baseline up loaded it to the link Jens supplied and let their program find the font. The program failed. I then posted it on their 'ask an expert' board and 30 mins later it was identified.
