can you use a letter to make a logo

This is in Illustrator CS3

I am trying to make a simple logo for a Cabinet builder. I want to use the upper case letter "A" from the font Quadranta, and make it look like drawers in the lower part of the"A". I will add the rest of the company name beside the letter "A". If I just use some lines to create the look using 1 or 2 PT for the thickness it will look fine at the size I create but if you scale it larger the pt size does not scale with the rest of the letter. Also if you add a 2 pt stroke (second color) to the letter itself, the same happens when scaling larger or smaller. A person can just change the point size for each thing you add the logo to but can it be made to be scaled like a normal eps logo?

Thanks for any input

When you have it all looking just right - select all, expand appearance. Also in prefrences make sure scale strokes and effects is on.

Thank you so much.

I never had the scale stokes and effects checked.

Now I just have to figure how to put the hair back in that I have pulled out:frustrated:
