CableDingbats

CableDingbats font by Gene Cowan is a free logo dingbat typeface that drops an entire cable-TV lineup straight into your glyph palette. Each mark is rendered as a bold, inky silhouette, from smooth script curves to compressed blocky wordmarks, so they read instantly even at small sizes. The mix of boxed, slanted, and rounded forms gives your layouts that dense, channel-packed feel of an old-school program guide.

Using CableDingbats, you can quickly badge media zines, retro TV posters, fan wikis, timelines, presentations, and infographic callouts with familiar network icons. The shapes are chunky and high-impact, which makes them shine on spot illustrations or as navigation symbols in UI mockups. For a clean, readable hierarchy, pair this free font’s icons with a plain sans-serif for body copy and keep the logos slightly oversized to emphasize their punchy silhouettes.
