Close, but not quite. I'm not sure what font it is exactly, but it's definitely not Gotham - the 'M', 'N' and 'A' are different, although the other characters are very, very similar. I thought it might be one of the heavier weights of Verlag, but there's a few key differences that have shot that theory down.


I checked it up and believe the font is called "Brandon Grotesque Black".

I'd hardly call Gotham an official looking (as in sombre style) font.

I had a look at it earlier on and noticed the differences, tried to What the Font it but it rejected it. I do like it though!

Ah, many thanks for doing the legwork on that one, Thinker. It's certainly a handsome font, and although it's not wildly different from Gotham, I'm glad they opted for something a bit different - Gotham is seriously overused these days.

At first I just saw the logo by itself and I thought it wouldn't work at all. Then I saw the intro video, and realized that it could work, especially with all the funny taglines. It's just gonna be hard to move away from the old logo they have used for nearly 20 years (Well, 2 logos. There was a change about halfway through).
