Hi Candy,

The Commerzbank logo used to feature a custom bold stressed sans, similar to Optima. The recent redesign brought a more contemporary logotype by Luc(as) de Groot, see the article on Fontblog.
Apart from the logo, there’s a corporate typeface based on Linotype’s Compatil, Commerzbank Compatil. Before that, there was a bold oblique slab called Commerzbank Head. More info in this article in DMIG 2 [PDF, 0.85 MB ].

Wow Florian! Thanks for all that info. I really appreciate it.

I thought I uploaded the image but something went wrong apparently. It's there now.

Again, thanks!
