Im sorry for not giving a really descriptive title, or if I posted this in the wrong place too. I am looking for the font, or a similar font to taht which was used in the Raid Bug Spray logo for a project Im working on in Illustrator. Ive been looking for a while but none of the fonts ive acquired resemle it very closely. If anyone knows of the font please give it to me or give me its name or something so I can use it.

I tried looking through all my fonts but I dont have a very extensive type library, I only have maybe 25-30 different faces

I suggest trying: WhatTheFont (http://www.whatthefont.com). According to it, "Raid" font is pretty close with Compacta EF, Bold Italic (http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/ef/compacta/ef-bold-italic/).

They're using at least four different fonts as logo images! The one with the lightning-bolt/on-the-bottle is probably just an illustration, since they can't even match it elsewhere...

The Actual Raid text is what I was looking for, Ive matched it pretty nicely and all but It was for a ingame logo for Half life 2 that I made for my name, seeing it was my first attempt I think I did pretty good even though I used an older logo

The original idea was to post a solution for a problem "which link is used on RAID logo". In addition, tip for site WhatTheFont.com is for pointing a place where anyone can find suitable fonts without waiting answers in different forums.

The packaging for RAID is done in Oakland at the Clorox design office, you can always find an email and ask.
