Thanks guys :)
 
Try to take a better picture of it (or find a logo online) and upload it to whatthefont.com
 
Okay, I know that this is reviving an old thread, but I found some fonts that you can use to make your own 1980's/studio cube logo.

For "Rubik's", use: http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/linotype/gillies-gothic/bold/
OR http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/urw/gillies-gothic/bold/ OR EXTRA BOLD http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/linotype/gillies-gothic/extra-bold/
(If you don't see it, try typing "Rubik's" in the sample box. Of course, when you use this, you'll need to add some modifications to the letters to make it look authentic.)

This is a quick and rough job using MSPaint.

For "CUBE", use: http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/fontry-west/jls-over-kill-bloque/regular/
(Again, test it with "CUBE" [all caps] to see the similarities.)

A horrible reconstruction using MSPaint.


For "TM", use: http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/linotype/gill-sans/extra-bold/
or any sans serif font.

Even worse (MSPaint again).

Putting it all together:

Not bad, huh? (Yes, I used the orignal "CUBE" because my edit looked stupid.)


And when you resize it, no one will be the wiser.

so... how would you print da logo??? Would those custom sticker sets on rubiks.com or uncut sticker material on cubesmith work???
 
The custom sticker sets that Rubiks.com sells will work because it's regular paper that you cover with a clear acetate film (the clear sheet of material on PET/Rubik's stickers). Cubesmith vinyl won't work because it's glossy.
 
For "Rubik's", you can just get this similar font called Airstream: http://desktoppub.about.com/library/fonts/dd/uc_airstream.htm. Again, tweaking is necessary to make it realistic.

I don't yet know of any alternate fonts to replace "CUBE."

"TM" can just be replaced with any matching sans serif font.

If your logo is blurry or blocky, then use vectormagic.com. You have to pay to actually get the vector files, but you can use the PrintScreen (PrtSc) funtionality on your keyboard.
