Hmm, looks a lot like Humanoid by Andreas Nylin.

Look at the "designboom" logo on this page: http://www.designboom.com/eng/cool/andreas.html

Edit: On second look, it's similar and maybe a good alternative font, but I swear I have that font in my collection. I just can't place the name. I'm fairly certain it's a free font. Have you tried looking through DaFont's collection?

This is the fascinating and seminal Klute.
The London Olympics font is derived from it.
