The first stop was with What the Font. It said that the closest match was called Bank Gothic Medium. I think it's pretty dang close. The "C" is obviously not correct, but the designer could have cut off the ends of the "C" in outlines. I managed to find a free download of the font, installed it for comparison and here it is.
Not a bad match. The top text is the original logo type. The middle is the Bank Gothic Medium as typed. I then created outlines and decided that the "O" would make a better candidate for the "C" than the "C" itself. It appears that it is wider than the typeface really is. I cut the right side off of an "O" and voila. Reversing the "K" to finish it up and I think I've nailed it for the most part. Just a little grung-ing and we're rockin'.
By the way, if you are an 80's hairband rocker, give Chickenfoot a listen. It is a Super-Group organized by The Red Rocker Sammy Hagar. Joe Satriani, Chad Smith, and Michael Anthony join to create one of the greatest sounds that rock has heard in quite a long time.
