As in Public Broadcasting Service? Rethinking the shortening of their name to PBS might be the first order.

no my companies name is pbs (probably not that smart) it stands for the names of the three principals of the company. Very corporate.

I just need to find the right typeface that will work well with the sketch I did. It might just come down to me devloping the logo by hand

You could hire Gerard Huerta, the designer of the TDC logo.

I dont need to hire anyone! hah

I just need some suggestions for a good typeface to use for this job

I dont need to hire anyone! hah

Why the questions then?

I'm looking for suggestions on a serif typeface that I could use to develope the logo myself. I dont see whats so hard to understand about that

Well, it might just be that knowing about typefaces, their relationships, positioning, etc. is part of the qualification of a designer?

A designer is one who understands when to do what where with whom how and why. So you are way out of line, paragraph.

Andrew,
You need a font with not to many thicks and thins and some jaunty serifs. A little of personality for each of them ideally. I would suggest you go find some examples of old wood type (think dada-esque) and just rifle through till you find "the one". I don't know where in your town you might be able to do that, but that's where you step in. Am I on the right track?

Paragraph's fonts are out of line too. Owww, my eyes. Lucky for 'My Fonts' aye!

The font that immediately sprang to mind seeing your sketch was Parsons, available in digital form as Parsnip NF. This will give you a very old-school flavor, perhaps not what you're looking for.

In the original, there are lots of alternate characters and long extenders, but none for the caps P, B, and S specifically. In general, that kind of thing would make it easier to weave.

Probably just a wacky idea, but maybe it leads you somewhere.

Very kind of you, Franz. Thanks you. They are not meant for very Good Designers.

Oh my, sorry, Andrew. I misunderstood the situation. I thought that you are the business owner trying to avoid hiring a designer, not a designer struggling with a job. Good luck.
