first thought was that a copywriter might want to keep the space between first and last name.

good first thought

Have you tried a verson where the font is a little less condensed and the tracking is a little tighter? It may lose is "logo" quality, i dunno.
it seems a little hard to read.
the space was my second thought.

space in your name.
you need to track a little tighter on the copywriter. it's off from your name, looks odd.
nice concept though. needs some minor tweeking.

nice approach, I agree with the space, and another thing is wouldn't it be more proper to seperate the name and title with a comma ( not saying it is law just more common practice)

what font face is that?

thought about using a typewriter style typeface?

Typeface = Solex
Foundry = Emigre"thought about using a typewriter style typeface?"
Typewriter style typeface = cliché.
BUT. It did cross my mind like a flash of lightning.

righton, but it really doesnt look like much of a logo to me

"it really doesnt look like much of a logo to me"
I can totally see how you would say that, Robbie.
The logotype is totally out of context. This is the kind of logotype that really needs to be put into context.
A layout will help this identity become all it can be.

i hope i didnt come off as offensive. i'll bet it will look proper on some letterhead

I like the simplicity but it may be interesting to introduce a human element. Treat the mark as if it was copy that had proofreader marks on it. You could mark the addition of a space for example. Just a thought - could be an interesting counterpoint to a clean, grid layout on the stationery. Personally, I'm not crazy about the font - too stylized, but the general feel of it is good.

Nosaj: No problem; my pleasure. And thanks for the compliments.
Robbie: Offensive? No way. Your comment made me realize that this mark is terribly weak out of context. Which is a good point you helped me discover.
testpilot: Your totally on to something. Now that's good feedback. It's amazing the kind of direction you get in Newstoday.
Ivan: Yeah; testpilot is on to something isn't he.
