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.
I can vouch that it is definitely Futura, because some years ago I asked
stubear, the guy who made the logo, what font it was and that was the
answer I received. AFAIK the logo was done in Illustrator, so, like
stippi said, it has probably received some tweaking from there.
