That's pretty sweet :)

Is that a fixed spacing font?  To me it looks like there is a fair gap between letters but that might just be my opinion.

I've left work now so I'll see what comments there are over the weekend and maybe mess about with the kerning on Monday.

kerning ... I was impressed, then I remembered what you do for a living!

Liking it more and more.  As well as reducing the kerning what about reducing the size of "owered", so it's more compact.

What font is that, Keith?  Can you send me a copy (if it will work on PC, I assume you are still all Macs in the print world) If you can I throw some variations up too.

ctrl-F5 if you're on a PC, your browser probably has the old image cached.

Would look good on a "Biopowered affiliated collector" business card wouldn't it?  That takes us back to our setting up an unincorporated association discussion again (if we're not one already).

Nice, me like mucho! Well done Tony.

I have a good domain name for a UK wide collectors site if you ever wanted to go that way.

I've put the logo on the wiki bit as well, all looking good.  I did notice some defects around the oil drop over the i but we can fix that when we're set on a final version.  I've made a new favicon for the site using the oil drop too.

Yes it is a bit rough but it was just meant as a visual as Julian suggested the changes at 11.35 and I left work at 12.00 so I just threw it together so you lot had something to look at for the weekend. In fact I think it may even still be a bitmap and not vector.

Julian the font maybe Bauhaus 93 I think, but I wasn't really concentrating on the name of it so I may well be wrong.
