But looking at the f in 8/f gives me the impression they mixed some
fonts for the logo and taking a closer look at the line:
"digital equipment corporation . maynard. massachusetts"
is proving both of us wrong. the y in maynard is a rounded version, but
both futura and avant garde hve a straight y.

Can you scan the page you're looking at?

ITC Avant Garde would probably be closer. (released circa 1970)
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).
