Animation film studio Pixar has been represented by this logo since 1995, when it debuted with Toy Story. The logo is set in Charlemagne, a typeface designed not too many years earlier by Carol Twombly at Adobe, Pixar’s neighbors to the south in San Jose.

Kottke just posted a short history of the Pixar logo animation where you can see the logo (and the Pixar mascot, Luxo Jr.) in motion

    It’s difficult to be certain, but Adobe Jenson could be match.
