ok, i'll use the bauhaus font but a bit thinner. thanks for all your help, folks, this is the greatest online community i've ever encountered.
and before we all forget about this thread i want to make you an offer: if you're in need of a logo and you like what you can see here i'll make you one. the price is negotiable but i'm for sure cheaper than any other commercial graphics studio.
i'll also post this offer in the jobs wanted forum.
joey.
