You are in luck. I have the October 2003 issue of _Kashrus Magazine_ sitting
on the chair next to me with the 2004 Kosher Supervision Guide.
The symbol you describe is "Kosher Supervision of Florida." The same agency
also uses a KSF surrounded by a rectangle with rounded corners. The
supervision is not Orthodox.
Kosher Supervision of Florida (Traditional), POB 7806, Hollywood, Florida
33081. (954) 981-6111. Rabbi Malavsky.

It is Orthodox. It was founded in 1970. Certifies 5 companies, including:
Krispy Kreme, Tasty Kake, IBC Soda, and Euromed.
"KOA" Subsidiary of Orthodox Association for Observance of Kashruth.
72 Ascension Street, Passaic, NJ 07055

Rabbi Berel Isaacson, Rabbi Aharon Pessin, Rabbi Shlomo Isaacson, and Rabbi
Yehoshua Buxbaum.
General Disclaimer about all certifying agencies: Just because a certifying
agency is "Orthodox," doesn't necessarily mean that it is recommended by all
Orthodox rabbis. What is currently happening with the half-moon K is a
classic example. This agency is Orthodox, yet I don't know of any UO rabbi
who would recommend it at this time. Rabbi Hisiger has been working very
hard to change the situation and supposedly now 80% of the half-moon K
products are reliably supervised. Hopefully, that will change to 100% in the
not too distant future. But the point is that just because an agency labels
itself "Orthodox" doesn't mean that it is reliable. It is only as reliable
as the rabbi who is supervising it. Always CYLOR.

Ooo, 3 home runs!!
I was worried about it, since I'd already brought home the Tastykakes...
(I saw the hechsher & thought that perhaps they'd just changed
supervision....)
and Euromed.

I've never even seen one (yet).

KOA is R' Shloime Isaacson, a neighbor of mine, a really nice guy, and
O (chassidish). He has a shteibl in his basement -- a good place to go
when running late on Friday.
I don't trust KOA, although I have eaten from the Isaacson's kitchen.
Some of the distinction is that I am more lenient when running the risk
of insulting someone. Some of it is that I'm simply inconsistent.

Currently run by R' Shloime (as he pronounces it). Some of the older
rabbis got, well, older. RSI is no inexperienced child either, he has
married children and has been doing KOA for his father for decades.
BTW, note his name. Rabbi Shlomo Isaacson is one of the most prestigious
names in the rabbi business. Can you figure out why?

All I know is I lent him a couple of seforim, and they came back with all
these notes in the margins, written in some kind of crazy script.

I don't know about that, but I know that it is usually not accepted, but
Tasty Cakes is acceptable. ( I think that was on one of Micha's lists a
while back.)

Now to give credit where due... Jay Lapidus once wrote to the group
quoting "Rabbi Solomon Isaacson" who he alleged was a famous C Rabbi.
