:-) ze web to ze rescue: grabbing a png from the pdf of the
maintanance manual and uploading it to myfonts.com points me to the font
"rescue regular". but it is not perfect as the verticals have rounded
ends on "rescue" and straight on the dec font.
another is "insignia" but having the wrong letter t

Oops, I was looking at the vertical d e c when I said that.
The font used in the "industrial11" logo and across the PDP-8 range, has
been pinned down to the "New York" style of "Chalet"; here's a revival:

But I can't find a "pdp8" image in the thread. Simon, what image are you
referring to that leads you to say Futura Bold?

Avant Garde was used in a LOT of DEC's marketing -- it was the signature
face for VAX-11, for example (even the machine badges use Avant Garde).

Does anyone have a picture of that? My Google-fu is failing me. I
love cutting vinyl stickers of old logos and I think an original DEC
logo would make a great prize in the contests I run on
RetroBattlestations.
I did my best to recreate the plug-in card DEC logo, you can download
it as an SVG here:

Proportions probably aren’t perfect since all I had to work from was
very low resolution pictures of the original. I’m happy to send out
vinyl cut decals to anyone that wants one if you send me a SASE. Email
me privately for my address.
