Idea for a logo book...

Let's say I have an idea for a book about logo design. Along the lines of the Los Logos series, let's also say.

Whose permission do I need to include a particular logo? Assume it's trademarked and all that.

I figure it's either "everyone and their lawyers'" or "nobody because of some copyright law thing".

Saw it last night at Toronto After Dark. Holy hell it's grim and disturbing – think of 'The Road' set in a bunker – but the crowd was cheering and oh-no-ing through the third act.

Find/replace fonts in multiple ID files?

Is there a way to find and replace missing fonts in MULTIPLE (open) Indesign files at the same time?

All I'm getting from Google is the regular Find/Replace and one-at-a-time Font find/replace stuff.

I have like 30 of these files with 5 missing fonts each that need to be swapped out for our own versions.

Ps CS3 missing fonts list?

Is there a way to make Photoshop display a list of fonts in use/missing, similar to Illy and Indesign?

The "some fonts are missing" and "some type needs to be updated" warnings are super helpful but utterly useless without this ability.

ID spot colour trouble

Indesign (CS3) doesn't seem to like PSDs with transparent background placed on spot colours. The spot prints, but the image only comes out as a white silhouette. Any idea what's going wrong?

Production Guidelines

I've been tasked with updating (more like creating) the studio's production guidelines – stuff like file naming practices, docket folder structure, final file prep, etc.

I know how we do things, but I'm wondering if there are any examples I could take a look at for presenting the info, or maybe even adopt ideas from.

It's pretty straight forward, but it's Friday, I'm bored, and willing to be surprised.

I feel sick.

"Having your company logo design done by a professional can be an expensive process. Hopefully this tutorial will give you some ideas on creating your company logo yourself."

I need a website

And I want to build it myself. The last time I did this there was a thing called Flash that all the kids liked, iframes were cool to hate, and Web 2.0 was still Web 1.3 Alpha. But seriously I haven't done any serious work for the web in 8 or 9 years, and what I had done was pretty basic.

I want one of these "blogs" I've heard so much about, something I can update myself, post new work (I know portfolio sites are SO self-indulgent, but what's the harm?), etc. The easier the better, but I don't want some generic Blogger or Wordpress template, you know? Where do I start?
