Following on from some talk in the covers thread, can anyone identify the font used for the CBS FOX part of this logo?

Photobucket

I could fiddle about with Impact (ugh) to come up with something similar, but wondered if anyone knew more precisely what it was...

Your instincts serve you well.

It's Impact but the F has been forced justified to make fit under the C which is why it's so much broader and the bars are longer (possibly the same is true to a lesser extent with the X).

To transpose the idea you would need to get the top letter set right, position the bottom middle letter in so it's right under the upper middle letter and manually justify the end letters to get that boxed in look.

Whoever did it was a bit of hack if you compare it to classic CBS and Fox idents it looks like someone went wild with Letroset in a photocopier.
