Which font is this??!!

Hi Guys,

I wonder if any of you guys can help! A designer did a logo for a company I'm working with, and in his outlined specifications he claims to have used Century Gothic for the font - but it doesn't seem to be the same one I've got on any of the software packages I've got, such as Fireworks, Quark 7 or Illustrator.

Any one any ideas what font it is? I need to recreated it for some marketing bunfff and can't find the font!

Many Thanks!

Diego

I don't think it's Century Gothic. The & is totally different. It's more similar to Drescher Grotesk BT Light but still not the same.

The M comes down too low there.

I was looking at Liteweit regular, but the m has the same problem

I tend to open 10 or 12 threads at a time in different tabs ... you must have posted your response right after I opened the thread ... way before I got around to reading it
