how about this version... is it any better... keep in mind i am designing the fonts myself

More readable but with small logos it does not pop out, i.e. make it more fat.

Yep prefer that one - I think the font width is fine.

Is that a personal preference to do the font yourself ?
If not, make sure to check out dafont.com, they have billions of thousands of fonts of all styles.

You only have to watch out of the term of use from the author. Most of them allow any use, some will restrain it to personnal use, some may ask for an email and explanaition before allowing you to use it commercialy.. etc.

And if a font REALLY catches your eye but the author doesn't want you to use it even though you sent him an email etc., well, tbh I doubt you'll be sued like Samsung. Or if this happens, that would mean you made it in the music industry, thus not really giving a f*** about a font anymore :)

I've seen a café/bar (big one) in Paris (http://www.caferivedroite.com/cafe-r...htm?s=09562302) which had his logo, LED sign etc made with a font you can find on dafont, and I really doubt they asked for any permission, and gave any credit to the author.

It's up to you, it's only a font but after all it's kind of your identity so if I were you I'd be kind with the guy :).

Lots of people on here seem too obsessed with logo's and the like.
Let your manager sort that out when it matters.
