[quote]@koeiekat: And why do these dreadful frakturs keep popping up?[/quote]
I know many bands (Radiohead, for one) have made their websites VERRRY fraktur-heavy. It seems to be a strong influence on t-shirt design at the moment too, i.e. flowy, dense lines, faded and distressed lettering. frakturs lend themselves to that.
Just my take. I've seen a lot of them lately.
edit to say: i must say I'm guilty of giving in to them once or twice!

How do people organise their fonts? I have tried by name but it hard when you can visualise the font but the name isn't a clue it doesn't work...for example: Bayou Cowboy is a font where the capitals wear crowns...not helpful huh? I tried the thing that you have here to download but it didn't work. I am currently labouring to categorise things into fonts, dings and fontbats...the lines get blurred though also then I need to categorise my fonts...oh it's a nightmare. All help is appreciated.

There seems to be a misunderstanding here. The Gibson logo was designed in the early years of the 20th century when type was available in lead - or not. Only a very few types were available in sizes fit for headings. So except for types that were used reguarly for news- and book-print and so most headers for other purposes were drawn by hand. Get a copy of a newspaper of those years and look at the advertisements. Tou will see that almost all 'fancy' headings and logos are hand drawn. Some of these are based on then existing types. Most are a free interpretation, specially logos.
Assuming that the Gibson logo was indeed based on an existing type the chances that tat type has ever been digitized are minimal as only the most common types of those years (owned by Monotype and Linotype, ...) were, when lead an photosetting faded out.
In short: If you insist to have a font that the Gibson logo is based on or that looks so similar that it could be used to (re)create the logo you might as well insist that the moon is a grapefruit. While everybody knows and is is very clear to see that it is a pancake.
Even shorter: There is no such thing around.
