Looks a lot like Futura to me. Futura Bold Oblique?

Alright... So, I found the font and did all the happy jazz that comes with trying to use a new font.. Once I got it typed up and near the original artwork, it didn't match. There were elements that did, but others that didn't. The "O" for example is too narrow in comparison to the sent image.
Any other ideas? I'm still keeping the fonts though. xD One can never have too many fonts in their library.

The font appears to be Twentieth Century MT Ultra Bold Italic.

I tend to think if a company can't provide an actual vector art logo, you can only perform to the best of your abilities and Futura EB is certainly close enough, even if it's not an exact match.

You know there are dozens of type foundries that have released their own interpretations of Futura, including many under different names like Twentieth Century.
If you want an exact match for a Futura sample, you just have to try them one at a time until you find a match. Start with the most popular ones like Futura BT, Futura LT, URW Futura and Futura PT. Those acronyms just indicate the type foundry (BT=Bitstream, LT=Linotype, PT=Paratype, etc.)

Font seems a match for Limerick Serial Heavy Italic at https://www.fontspring.com/fonts/softmaker/limerick-serial and also Publica Sans Black Italic at https://www.fontspring.com/fonts/facetype/publica-sans ... Only the font has been spliced.
HTH,

it looks like you are taking the font, splicing it in two, and then separating the two sections apart because the angles dont match up between the two sections.
if thats the case, I would outline a single instance of the font, draw a white stroke/rectangle over the logotype, and then use the pathfinder the separate the top and bottom sections so you can change the color.
just a word of advice from an ocd designer

That's not quite what I did, but similar. Besides, that's also why I said a few tweaks will be needed. I just did a quick mockup to illustrate it was indeed Futura.
