Thanks for the reply Stippi. :)
Neither versions of Futura seem to come close to the typeface used in the logo; the characters are (visibly) wider, and there are clear differences in the shape of some letters (particularly the K and the U).
In the past, DarkWyrm also suggested the use of Century Gothic, but this font has not-so-subtle differences too.
Perhaps the person who originally designed the logo (would be nice to know who it was), can shed some light if he/she is reading this.

Hi,

My first post to this list.

I'm no expert but the font looks very similar to Limerick TS Regular
