I have always liked the way that the KELLY temp employment services word-mark looks. Years ago, when I first arrived in Champaign county, this was my first stop and they worked tirelessly to get me in the door at Plastipak where I worked for ten years. Unfortunately, even they can't assist me in new employment other than manufacturing. I haven't even checked back with them in quite a while now though.
Anyway, I have always been attracted to their word-mark and I haven't ever really analyzed it before now. I ran my image through What Font Is and the results weren't extremely clear. However, they did suggest that perhaps ITC Kabel was an influence in the design of the letter-form.
The problem in Kabel is in the diagonal's of the "K", the center arm of the "E" and the "Y". But the diagonal slant at the end of each arm of the "E" and the base of the "L's" is a great match. It could be that I didn't get the photo taken straight enough. But, I'll try to keep an eye out for something more similar than the Kabel.
