When I worked at Motorola years ago, I can say this much. Legal would have reamed that guy to the point his colonoscopy could be done with a Volkswagen.

Trademarks are often defined by a specific font and if you use any other, you can ruin the strength of your trademark.

If you have doubts, shoot a copy to your legal department and ask if it is ok to dilute the trademark like this?

Techwhirlers,


Included was this curious note:
The official corporate font to use in announcements, press releases,
advertising,
and other messaging is <finesubtlefont>. If <finesubtlefont> is not
available, you
may substitute Arial, Verdana.
