Hi, I'm new here. Yay! Exciting stuff.
Anyway, I'm looking for the font that the magazine "Rolling Stone" uses for it's magazine title. I'm talking about the acutal "Rolling Stone" text, at the top of the magazine. The name. Yeah, so... Could anyone help me out? Thanks!
It was custom designed by jim parkinson. Not sure if the most recent version is his.

I figured out the Jim Parkinson thing so far... But the problem is, his font set is like $300, and a single font is $40. =P Oh well. Guess it's better than a free knockoff. Thanks!
FYI, Rolling Stone's body copy is set in Mark Simonson's excellent Proxima Sans.
timfm,
upon closer inspection the body copy font for most of RS's articles is serif. That would rule out Proxima...
Today must be ancient thread day.
Although RS body copy has been a serif face for the 20 (off and on) years I've been reading it, at the time of this original post (2004!), Proxima had been introduced in a recent redesign as the main sans face. (They've since moved on to Amplitude.)
The serif text face is ID'd here as Font Bureau's Hightower:

Upon closer inspection you are reacting to a three year old thread. How relevant can that be? :^P
