I was going through my fonts looking for an accurate one to replicate the logo for the film, when I found one that matched perfectly.

Century Gothic, which is either a Windows stock font, or it comes with Office 2003. I forget which.

Thanks, I actually did find that interesting, and I just used it for a joke photoshop replacing Craig with a friend of mine. Cheers.

I've found that the font Futura is quite close as well.

Futura is very similar to Century Gothic.
It's a classic Bauhaus inspired font designed by Paul Renner in 1928, whereas Century Gothic basically is Micrsoft's version of Futura, which they had created for themselves, in order to avoid huge license fees (just like every font that's called 'Swiss' is similar to 'Helvetica').

The font used for CR definitely is Century Gothic. Just the 'R' is slightly modified.

One of the best title logos in a long time.

Was so sick of seeing the 007 logo just slapped behind whatever the film was called.

Do you use the "Normale" or the "bold" version?
