I have been trying to figure out what is the name of the font used to create this stylish logo - no luck so far :(

so, does anyone know what font is used for the "box" logo? please take a look at http://www.box.net/

I would really appreciate your help on this one.

Brief expert summary: the "box" wordmark is almost certainly a custom wordmark rendered as an image or outlined vector rather than raw web text, so is correct to flag it as an image and is right to be cautious about claiming an exact match. 's pointer toward a rounded geometric sans family is a useful starting point, and 's font list is a sensible next step for hunting substitutes. The practical steps below show how to confirm whether the mark is an off‑the‑shelf font and how to get a close, legal substitute.

Practical workflow

  1. Inspect the page: right‑click > Inspect/Elements. If the mark is HTML text, the computed styles often show the font-family or the webfont file. If it is an SVG, open its source—text nodes sometimes reference a font; if glyphs are converted to paths, the original font is not recoverable.
  2. For images or outlined SVGs, crop a high‑resolution sample and run it through a font‑matcher service or visually compare candidates. Focus on diagnostic glyphs (the lowercase "b", the shape of "o" and "x", terminal shapes and overall width).
  3. To create a usable replica, choose a rounded geometric sans as a base, convert type to outlines in a vector editor, then subtly adjust node shapes, corner radii, and letterspacing until the proportions match.

Cautions and practical notes: logos are often trademarked—do not reproduce a company mark commercially without permission. If an exact official asset is required, check the brand/press resources or contact the company for their logo package. When substituting a font for design work, confirm the font license before embedding or distributing.

That logo is an image, so I don't think this is the right place to ask this question...

Well, it may be a custom font they use but like Shaya4207 it is a logo image. A quick look around (like literally 2 minutes) and I found this font that is very similar to the look of their logo.

yep, it looks very similar to the image :) I would not dare to say it's the right match, probably because the logo is custom made but it's definitely something I can start with. thanks for finding this font
