NBC during their Olympic telecasts has been using a particular typeface for their transitions to and from events, their features of athletes, and their intros into commercials. It can be seen on this cover of their forthcoming DVD set:

At first I thought it was perhaps Neutraface, until I realized that Neutraface doesn't go that wide. Anyway, I love it because it's so modern and yet classy, which is very much how an Italian Olympics should be.

Very nice. Looks like Zeppelin 51 to me.

Larabie's Neuropol and Storm's Zeppelin - wow.
When major operations start relying so heavily on
indie foundries, you know something is going right.
