Hi, can anyone suggest a very similar font to this? Best guess I've had so far is Avant Gare Gothic in bold...
Also, does anyone know if this actually is the corporate font of Mobil or whether it's just one of those knockoffs?
Many thanks!

Similar font to Mobil?
Also similar is Neuzeit Grotesk.
"The Mobil logo was designed in 1965 by Chermayeff & Geismar.
"The colours are red (Pantone 485) and blue (Pantone 293). Additional colours are grey (Pantone 431) and silver (Pantone 877).
"Mobil uses the typeface Helvetica and its proprietary typeface Mobil Alphabet, designed by Chermayeff & Geismar."
