Typography nerds: I need to ID this font
I'm looking for the ID of the font in the header logo, and the tagline font, if different. It's a common one, and I had it on the tip of my tongue (a seriously frustrating experience). Thanks in advance!

Yup, Eurostile... although the "bowie" portion isn't as thick as Eurostile Bold, so it might be a Heavy face.

Best answer: Definitely Eurostile.
As to the weight of the "bowie" portion...I have two version of Eurostile Bold in my collection. One is an OpenType version and the other is the Postscript Type1 version. The Postscript version of "Bold" is noticeably heavier than the OpenType "Bold". So, the "bowie" may be done using the OpenType bold.

There's an Eurostile knock-off called Square 721 in the Bitstream font pack.
