  I really don''t like any of them. They are either too "Disney" or too "Matrix."   I Want My Island"The same people who so greatly oppose slavery, so much that they are willing to kill over it... have just forced me to fight the battle for them."- Robert (I Want My Island) ;  That''s the Disney font, right? No, not those then...I''d go for #2. The colours are a little wishy-washy for me, though... ;quote:Original post by benryves   That's the Disney font, right? No, not those then...I'd go for #2.

While all of them ''could'' fit perfectly, here is my initial impressions...Number 3 is interesting because you could actually make it into a ongoing effect with random trails streaming upwards.  I never really liked pre-done trails.  The bottom two look like Power Point presentation slides. The first one looks like an early Amiga Deluxe Paint 2/3 demo.The Matrix stuff  should be backwards Katakana, at least that is what the movie uses.;quote:Original post by Taulin   A logo should also symbolize the type of product you are making, which I am not sure about from seeing this great of variety.

I used the matrix font.. from the matrix webpage :D and I wrote Phoebus Cepheus in it.

It looks like it is could related to The School for Retarded Children. ;;  Best logo advice:"Make sure it works in black and white"Logos that require true-colour are almost always crap. (note: "require" and "have" are two very different things here).Logos that rely on borders around the image, or the texturing behind or on the font are almost always crap.Look at some famous logos. Look at the Microsoft logo. That is black and white only. It''s also quite simple.Look at the logo for GameDev (the G in the circle). That would work in black and white.Once you''ve got a logo in black and white, then you should move onto colour.Look at the logo for Windows (the flag thing). That works in black and white, even though it''s supposed to have colours. It''s simple, solid lines. Same goes for the "new" windows flag (look at XP''s logo).You should add colour very carefuly. And it''s usualy best if your logo works with the flat colour, before you go adding any gradents.All those logos you created look like the kind of thing you''d see on a low-quality Geocities web page. Not to mention, they probably infringe on trademarks of walt disney and the matrix. It can still infringe trademarks even if it dosn''t infringe copyright - and the fact that it''s instantly recognisable as their fonts, dosn''t help you one bit. If you ever did anything sucessful with those logos - then chances are that one of the movie compines would come down on your ass hard.Anyway, if you want logo help, this is the best place to go for tutorials:http://www.webreference.com/dlab/;  In my opinion the least bad is this:But it''s still a waste of space -- there''s all that blank unused space. Your logos need to be more compact and focused.   ~CGameProgrammer( ); -- Post screenshots of your projects. 100+ posts already in the archives.
