Hey can anyone tell me what this font is? I know I've seen it but can't place/remember what it is. I t may have been altered slightly... ie the 's' has been changed.
Cheers

Looks like Futura Bold Condensed to me.

Nope, it's not. Nor is it Agenda Bold Extra Condensed. :^/

This is very bizarre -- the order of the comments have switched without Sebastian editing anything!?

I'm pretty sure that the DMO part is Agenda but the S is throwing me off. Here's a link to a PDF of the logo (taken from SDMOs homepage) for a closer look...

Where did you take the pdf logo? Did you just extract it from the pdf documentation files at the link SDMO Commercial Leaflets ?

If I look at the different weights of Agenda, the one that seems to fit the best is Agenda Bold Extra condensed. However, if I compare the M in the logo (left) and the M in Agenda (right) they dont' look the same

You're right, Michel! May this be a custom work?

I guess that for logos, this is a likely occurrence. It is interesting to notice that in the SDMO leaflets, when they need a "compound" logo, either they use another font for "SDMO" or mix the original logo with some other font. Here is an example
where, according Acrobat, the font used for "Mics TELYS" is "Ostara" (?). This being said, I am no designer.

Ostara is – according to Uli Stiehls fontforgery website – a softmaker-/brendel-clone of Anzeigen Grotesk
