I'm working on a few Mann Co. posters and rather than cutting a logo from somewhere else I could quite easily make one myself, problem is I can't seem to find which font is used. I'm asking if anyone knows or has an idea of what font is used. Here's a photo for reference.

Edit: Another one for reference, if no-one knows then I'll just ending up cut-pasting it from this one.

looks almost exactly like Arial Black to me - only the C curve is a little bit different.
slightly stretched in horizontal direction overall, as well, i'd say

Personally, I think it looks like a modified version of:

John Sans Condensed Black

The letter shapes are the same or similar, except some of the edges are rounded out which could easily be done in Photoshop.

Edit:

Here, decide for yourself. I'd take my bet on one of the two that cost money, as I doubt Valve would use Arial or Helvetica.

Doesn't work, Doctor P. I'm guessing you What The Font'd the Mann Co. font?

These are the 5 it comes up with:

http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/paratype/pragmatica/ext-black-reg/
http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/aah-yes/sanzettica/9-max-expd/
http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/ortizlopez/olfranklin/extra-bold-regular/
http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/adobe/doric-bold/bold/
http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/linotype/doric/bold/

The first 3 look the closest to me. But they have the wrong type of C. The Dorics have the right C. Perhaps a mixture?

Hey, finally something I can contribute to! The font is BorisBlackBloxx. I'm a thousand percent sure of it.

Working on it now, instead of the 'we sell products and get in fights', what does everyone think of 'We sell products and get in fights. And we're all out of stock.' ?

How about "We sell products and get in fights. Changing our motto results in the immediate execution of a lawsuit. See you in court."
