Could someone tell me which font WHT is using?

The title at the top left. It looks real cool.

Ask Alpha (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/member.php?action=getinfo&userid=1256) - he's the one who created the logos for us.

As a matter of fact I'd be interested too ;)

"WebHosting" is done in a font called Concielian

and "Talk" is done in Silkscreen (usually used as small tiny blocky text) with a 30degree skew...

thanks, i appreciate your compliment

hehe and the toughest part of making a header graphic is what font you're gonna use.

i probably have over 500+ fonts installed... and its tough as a diamond to try to find those few that would fit whatever you are trying to make

*lol* tell me about it... I have over 400 printed out and binded so I can just sit back and flick through them for a while I try to think on of that would look good in a header... Even then, I usually end up trying two or three before I'm *kind of* happy :)

I have a CD with 5000 fonts on it I picked up at a local computer store from their 'bargain bin' :) Font CD's aren't too expensive if you know what you're digging for.

Martie found a great site a while ago that might fo the trick for you though:

Enjoy!

Hehehehe.. I feel your pain!!! Every single time I try to make a graphic with text in it I select the text in Photoshop, click on the font list menu, select the first font and then I sit there for an hour clicking the down arrow on my keyboard going through each one. The sad part is sometimes I can't find a font that makes me happy, so I've basicly spent hours going through 808 fonts (just checked) for nothing.. I always use Impact or Arial if I don't find anything else, those are my backup fonts :D

I'm the same, with the addition of Times New Roman is I need something with a serif. Impact is the classic all-round bold, thick font that doesn't take up too much room. There's a serious lack of good thick 'heading' type fonts. :)
