What font do they use for those "ThinkPad" logos/trademarks?

You can see it logo on your laptop and/or box it comes with

its an "interesting" font but not very useable..

good for logo's but confusing, as i recall, from the one time i used it..

you think i should use it in the header of the forum..?

I'd say: give it a whirl and ask for opinions!
"thinkpads.com" in IBM-font, "Support Community" as is.

Could it be "impact"

But maybe thinner?

Well in my honest opinion it might look a good bit better than the multi coloured rainbow shizz you got going on up there at the moment

I had to adjust the Haettenschweiler character width to get it right for the TP logo. Haettenschweiler also has square dots for the top of the "i", so that is something you have to tweak as well to get it to match the logo.

In case no one has seen it yet on NBR, here's what I came up with, as well as a few others:

Hey, I'm no Rembrandt, I know, but if you happen to like them enough to use them (elsewhere), please rehost them. Too many using the same url will kill the bandwidth.
