Here are two different tools for discerning font types. I've used them both and have had mixed results with both.

Good luck.

Could be custom work. As a designer I take fonts all the time and change them to create cutom logotypes. You say that you had the header made so I'm not sure why you don't just call the designer and talk with them. Most designers would gladly share that kind of info with you -- especially if they did do a custom job :-)

I didn't find the exact face on MyFonts.com new WhatTheFont tool [yet... but look below], but it came very close: Bauhaus and Pump are different typefaces, but closely related. The one used in your logo is closely related to Bauhaus-style typefaces. Another similar one is Avernus [it has the fully rounded "b" with a closed bowl, but it's not quite the same]. Ronda.

Ah! I just love looking at typefaces. We have a winner: Horatio appears to be what was used for the logo. Nope... but very close. The "f" and "t" are different. So close, but not quite.

Bonus answer: And that is Windsor for "Inflatable Furniture".

Another resource: The forums at http://www.typophile.com seem to be pretty good at answering id questions. Especially if you can give them the closely related fonts.
