I'm thinking it's a font since the image I posted is from B.A.D.'s "Contact" single from 1989. Whether or not the font is available in digital form is another matter.

Justin, I think you're right that the iron-on letters were used for the cover.
Yeah, it says "MEGATOP PHOENIX" and "B.A.D." on the back of his shirt. There's also this:
