Myers Sans Black and URW Dock Extended Bold were the two closest matches I could find based on the shape of BFC

Looking at the curves on the B & C, I'm not sure this logo started life as a font. I think someone built this from the ground up.
The company says that this started as a font, and that their internal design guy altered it to be this.. He left a few years ago and took all his work with him. He erased everything from his work station. Now I have the job and have to figure this out as they want the same look of letters for the new projects.. I am the lucky one who has to figure this out now..

The cut of the C is the only letter I can not match up with a font. Looks like top and bottom have been cut flat, but to make the angle on the ends of the C every time is going to be a pain.. I have tried to match only the C to a font and it doesn't match up even making the c round.. The point on the 4 is also different from most fonts made. I may have to make an entire font just for this project. Not a big deal but it is time consuming.

I need to design other items for them or I would just redraw it. They want to keep all items that I do along the same font.
Looking at their website, URW Dock Extended Bold appears to be the font that was used on the marquee. I'd kern the "A-V-A" on available though.

Redraw it and charge them for your expertise and time. Same for all other lettering that needs to be done. The logo you show should take no more than 20 minutes.
