not necessarily "new" fonts - I think that a lot of designers use trendy fonts as a crutch. And then, five years from now, those trendy fonts become dated fonts.
There are a lot of "timeless" fonts in my opinion. I think it depends on how there set.
I just noticed you're in Somerville - I used to live on Broadway...down the street from the Bickford's/Star Market. My car was broken into twice and then stolen in a period of a two months!!

Ouch! that's near the projects ~ not the best part of town. glad to hear you got out of there! ~ Fonts, colors, bold, italic, solid colors, gradients, lots to choose from! ~ I't seems to be in the eye of the beholder. I love Illustrator, Photoshop, Rock & Roll and creating art and design though.

It's not a hard thing to learn mostly just type the name and scroll through all your fonts and pick up which fits the name and your logo the best. And then play around with placement and kerning. After a while you can see clearly most companies like some fonts and use them as standard. There are basically a small list of fonts which I use the most while I have allot of fonts.
The fonts I use the most are not that much this is the small list I mostly use, these are quite save and always work list, allot of other fonts are exclusion which only works on certain companies:
Enter Sansman
Eurasia
Eurostile
Calibri
Century Gothic
Futura
Grotesk
Helvectica
Myriad Pro
Raspoutine
Trajan Pro
VAG
Just need to find the correct taste for typography. Always make several version and place them next to each other so you can see differences and see which works and which not.

This might be a bit late but regarding the advice on the typography thing:
you might want to check out www.ilovetypography.com for some examples of font use, font creating and just getting the feeling with typography in all kinds of media.
There are some good examples on there.
