René Lezard logo/Aledux

urban_one

Can anyone identify these two fonts?

The first font is from the René Lezard logotype.

The closest match of the second one (typeface02.jpg) I found was the "Latin wide" (from Castle Type) http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/castletype/latin-wide-ct/latin-wide/ , but the "Latin Wide" is heavier, less elegant and more extended than the one on the picture...

Thanks.

Don't you think these might very well be custom designed logos? What better way to protect your brand than to make it really hard to forge your logo?

Anyone else has an idea?

Yeh, I know they might be customised. But as we all have got a "mother" and a "father", I guess these customised typefaces must have roots as well. I don't think they came completely out of the blue. So I'd even be happy to know the roots of these types. Suggestions welcome...

Well, that's the whole point -- they're not customised existing fonts, but custom designed logos, which means it's less obvious to find a "master" design. They might be based on a certain type style, but not necessarily on a specific typeface.
