  I am designing a website for a client and there logo is set in Trebuchet.

  I am trying to decide what fonts to choose for the heading and body text. Should I stick with Trebuchet, to tie in with the logo, or should I avoid it so that logo stands out more.

  Also really struggling for inspiration for good body and headline web font combinations?

  Trebuchet looks a bit cheesy when its large.

  Please, any thoughts or ideas.

  Imo, using the same typeface as the logo is a big 'no, no'.

  It dilutes the impact of the logo.

  Lukus_W thanks for clearing that up for me. Either of you got any thoughts on fonts that compliment Treb?

  • I'd think in terms of what font will compliment the content.– lukus_W1/2

    Contents pretty generic, that's why I am having issues– harmsie2/2
