It's not a font that you can type away your every day letters and emails with. It's a custom graphic. You can download most Subaru logos from www.brandsoftheworld.com go for the EPS files if you want to use them for getting custom stickers cut and so on.

Most logos arent created by just putting in a standard font and moving the letter around a bit.

Sometimes designers will just make one the old fashioned way with pen and paper, then convert it into a vector and tidy it up, or more common now is to start with an existing font that has approximately the right letter shaping and alter the individual letters into what you want the logo to look like.

This is the main difference between 'proper' designers and people who call themselves graphic designers ( most of whom dont know what a vector is, let alone being able to create one from scratch ! ). I see a lot of work people have had done on the cheap, and its nearly always a bog standard font ( usually one of the same half dozen popular ones ) with the letters repositioned and no more thought than that gone into it.

One warning about brandsoftheworld - the graphics on there are all submitted by other people - some of them are pretty good and accurate, but there are also quite a lot that arent that good compared to the originals and need a lot of work to make them correct.
