If you’re talking about the second link, it could be
http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/efscangraphic/vega-standard-sb/regular/
or
http://typography.com/fonts/font_styles.php?productLineID=100030&cpuCount=1

I’m looking into the first link, but I get the feeling it’s custom designed.

It looks like the logo at the first link was custom designed by South African designer Mokokoma Mokhonoana, specifically for Skout.

Let me know if it was neither of those websites. Hope I’ve been helpful!

If you were after the first link and you’re designing on a budget, check out:

For a heap of pixel fonts. There’s only a couple larger pixel fonts, so you wanna have a good scroll through them all to find the best ones. You could always make your own on an illustrator grid, too.

Lacking richardhenry’s font-identification skills, I’ve just used WhatTheFont in the past to try to identify fonts. Sometimes it works great, other times not so much..

In this case, one of the potential matches it suggested for the eu.skout.com logo is Glow Gothic Overlay BF, which looks right to me.. <shrug>

Hello, the logo is made from an existing font. But I had to edit some part of the ‘name’ as it looked like ‘shout’ instead of ‘skout’...

Let me know if you’re still interested then I’ll try trace the font for you… (i lost some of my work when I upgrade to the most recent iMac’s)
