Logo font used by Quirky

ssrow

Is it an actual font or custom made?

There are 2 different logo fonts, it would be great if I can get the name of both of them. Thanks for the help.

The alternative one is in their video; I've included it in the 3rd attachment

Can't find a match for the first one but having a look to any font "bauhaus related" would be good. Could also be a freebie. As it's very geometric, you could also consider to redraw it using only a circle (q is o with a descender, u is o's half down part with 2 ascenders, i is a bar, r is o's top left quarter with a descender, k is a 2 back to back half o with an ascender and y is u with a half o as loop...).

Can't see the second one, broken link.
Third one is Yess.

@Ryuk:
Thanks a lot for the help, I only have a few fonts on the list you've made on my computer but like you've stated the logo font could be replicated easily.

Thanks for the reference links, I'll try to mix and match to recreate it (although redraw is probably faster)

The second link is the same logo as the 1st one just with a different border and not slanted, I'll fix it in a moment.
