From the pre-HP "apollo Corporate Identity Manual:"
"Apollo's corporate logotype is set in a handworked version
 of the Avant Garde typeface, with customized letterspacing.
 The weight of the face has also been modified to allow
 easy enlargement or reduction."

This may be heresy to logotype purists, but I've had
decent success using PostScript Avant Garde Gothic Bold
to make the Apollo logo.
