hey janne
you're almost there.
can you keep a secret?
i took your gif file and opened it with photoshop, made it 600px wide and divided it in 12 x 50px wide colums, and rows with a 50px shift.all the parts (logo, address etc) were almost on place.
you'll find out when you resize the logo so it 'fits' into this grid (lets say left side starts at 50px and the right end of the logo ends in the horizontal middle point of the page), make the 'block' in the logo 1/12 page wide (one column) and do the same for the address it looks automatically 'right' and 'logical'.

*the magic of a 12 column design. sssssht...*

may look good just more to the left. not up. maybe not. It's a beaut right now anyways.

stweart:
What is the 12 column design?
any more insight in this?

Hey Janne, I like the logo good to see it worked out for you.
What I would suggest about the letterhead is lose the gradient effect just cause of Faxing problems even if it is lighter it would just waste ink. I would also put the info to the left under the logo/logotype. I would also replace the text color try working with 90% gray. The white text will be hard to pick up in Fax machine etc.
Hope my feedback is in anyway usefull.

+ i would not recommand align right for stuff like "address:" etc.

the grid is not king.
visual balance is king.grids are for newspapers
now you know that
- jevad0
with the grid comes visual balance
dude you know as well as I do grids are not just for newspapers!
- mogwai0
the Grid is a freakin guideline. its is design 101. it makes everything look nice and predictable.
- robbie_m0
ive seen so many layouts that are aout of balance,
//but it's ok cause it lines up on the grid.i say late to the grid, and it is design 101
