I'm looking for a font with a solid corporate feel to it, yet with a hint of "Blackletter" or Gothic. Or maybe a Blackletter font with a corporate feel. Something clean yet with a old feel. It is for a law firm logo. Anyone have any suggestions?

Kelly, it's not a blackletter style, nor especially old, but you could try Gabriel, in upper & lowercase.

I was going to suggest Optima or Copperplate too. Good call Joe.

Hi Kelly. Check out Arthur Vanson's font "Stratford". It's also available from Letterhead Fonts. It has a very nice "Old English" feel to it , but many of the curlicues have been eliminated, making it very readable. I believe that Jill used it on one of her recent critiques....the Sportsman Bar with the deer's head rendition. Check it out.
