Am I going mad... or is it everyone else.

Just laying up some logos on a banner, and the clients designer has replied that it will be fine as long as 'there is a doughnuts width' between the logos.

Is this some technical term I'm not aware of, or are they literally asking me to make sure a small jam-filled cake will fit in the gap?

You shouldn't be calling yourself a designer if you don't know the 'doughnut measurement' scale

All you need to know is he's as fat as he is thick.

I cant believe that no one has actually tried to help, but are only making fun of. English is not my first language (it's spanish), and we don't use that term, but we have others just like that one, that makes you think that everyone (but yourself) is going nuts...
I wish I could help... I googled the term but nothing... Now Im really curious about it

And therein lies your problem, sir. There is no such term in English, hence the jokes.

for your information a 'doughnut width' is about the same as a crumpet.

a doughnut height however, is 2.5 x crumpet height.
