I have the artistic talents of "3 blind hedgehogs in a bag" so can't help here.

Isn't "knocking something up in Xara" a rude act in the back of a Citroen? :lol:

That would be Xsara, you rude person! :roll:

That would be Xsara

Yeah, but it was close enough to get away with the gag

Thanks for the flowers.... yep, I am sorry, but right now I don't even have the time for creating my own business cards.... shouldn't be here at TMC.....should write down recipis for employees......about the cups - tried that for myself. All Italian companies produce larger amounts, as mentioned. So that makes only sense for me if I can sell some..have to get famous first :lol:

If someone needs coffee bags in smaller amounts, btw:

Sorry, off topic, but I just found that while searching my coffee cup links which I must have lost with my stolen laptop some months ago....

Gotta go, my shift starts soon...... >sigh<

Here goes:

.... edit: I did some other alternatives later tonight. Didn´t quite like the legibility on screen at smaller logo sizes with that typeface, the thin hairlines tend to disappear in the black coffee. However, after trying with three other typefaces I still find the original Bodoni very compelling in the comparison, although all of the others are a bit more legible at this small size. (It will be legible on coffee cups though, I think, as the resolution is much much higher in print for this kind of graphic. This is mainly a web problem.) Compare here

Nightowl daddy off to bed now. Input on this is welcome.

Well, actually, I did... Maybe I should have started another thread instead, since this one actually is about coffee cups... :oops:

Is that OK, Phil? Time to get the TMC logo off the back burner?

Go for it Mats. We don't need a logo, but if someone comes up with a good one we'll certainly adopt it!
