I had a logo made, and I need to know what forn they used so I can update it. It looks like times new roman, but the serifs are thicker.

The link is below.

Looks like Minion Pro Semibold set with InDesign's optical kerning. (At least, the word YOUNG uses either optical kerning or perhaps manual adjustment to the UN pair.)

I agree with Dave about it being Minion. But I'd up the weight to BF rather than SB. That said, the serifs still don't look quite right in a sample comparison.

The spacing between UN characters is too wide, as is the spacing between the YO. There are other spacing anomalies as well. I'd say that the original logo was not carefully done.

If updating I'd take Neil's advice, the spacing makes it look more like YOU NG than YOUNG. I third Minion.
