The iconic logo for Helvetica(perhaps drawn from scratch or modified from a phototype font), but the circular 'C' is custom, very similar to ITC Avant Garde Gothic, but with a smaller aperture. It doesn't quite feel right (heavy on top and bottom) because it's a perfect circle, not optically corrected.
