Helvetica, and use all caps, do some bold colors or colors that contrast so much they "move" and geometry stuff

Run DMC's logo used Helvetica

You mean like this?

Something like that, but I wouldnt use the condensed version. Do it RUN DMC style

You could use some trapper keeper designs for inspiration
