and any designers, feel free to jump in the contest!

The one with the skull.

the ones aditya made

I think they're all good in their own way but the skull one is the most hardcore and serious. If you want a more laid-back feel to your site then go with the cherub.

This one

from aditya96 :thumbsup

i like poo

lol I'm going with CurrentlySober's vote.

I like the skull for the gaming crowd, because it looks badass and we play the shooter games.

But the cheruby guy might be better for branding - everything's got a damn skull on it...

i like rejected one :)

Matin518 is my fave x

Hard to say, what's your site like, what kind of image you want to project and so on? How is your company's brand defined (by you)?

This is the one I like as well - skulls are so saturated and everyone and their brother use them - so I like this one best as well.

Not to be a dick, but I'm not a big fan of any of them. They look like weak attempts to use Photoshop when everyone knows logos need to be designed in Illustrator. They used clipart (or just Google Image Search) and added text. :2 cents:

You know the old saying, "You get what you pay for."? If you're only paying $50 for a logo design, these are the options you're going to get.

This one was the best one I saw but you rejected it.

quoted for truth

I agree. All the current ones suck ( no offense ) the best was the one above :thumbsup

Personally I think they all suck. But if I had to pick from what you've got left...I'd got with #35 from aditya96

If you want a skull I think you can do better than the one remaining.

The cherub with a machine gun is an interesting concept that could use more brainstorming to be sure that's the right way of doing it. Is that the best looking cherub with the right gun? You might want to open another contest asking specifically for violent cherubs.

The cartoon image above is IMO the best. You could go in that creative direction with the entire project so that the design style of your stuff isn't the same as the game companies are doing with their promo materials. That would give your stuff more of a memorable identity.

the toon guy was a custom thing we got ages ago...having trouble mixing it in though...but i wanna use that too.

is this a trap ?

Agreed, the other two look like hell.

This one gets my vote as well. It's raw as hell. Evil.

i like the cherub and skull for random designs or banners - but I think I'm gonna go with keeping our custom cartoon with touchups and the new font.

Friend from MediaPickle did the toon - having these guys work with it to see what they come up with.

No, too much Homer Simpson.

:2 cents::2 cents:

Depends on what you are going for.

This one if you want to project fun and somewhat silly:

This one if you want clean and more professional:

This one for professional and "scary serious gamer" type:

Though I do not like the wasted space or the way the "C" overlaps the skull on this one. It could be tweaked?

I'm not a designer though.

your opinions as a non-designer are definitely good because it helps add a different perspective to it.

I'm 90% going with our custom cartoon. As much as I like the skull and cherub, I think they could be factored in as banner ads or other graphics for different things on the site or even the game server.

I agree that the skulls are everywhere and the cherub needs to be thought about some more, whereas the custom toon we had made portrays fun and the best part is that no one else really has that as it was our idea and it could be our identity.

Plus, we like fun!

:thumbsup nice thoughts!

I like the skull one.

I agree with this, but the angles should be behind the skull. It should be perfect!

they could resemble devil horns...

The single angel holding the gun

:thumbsup:thumbsup cool and applicable..

First rule of branding--you do not use multiple "logos". You have ONE logo and it goes on everything. If you're going to use different images, then don't bother with a logo.

And the poster that mentioned that a logo that is mainly clip art and some "bevel and emboss" text is correct that it is not the way to go. That style of "logo" can't be trademarked. Some people don't care about that, but it's something to consider if you do care about protecting your brand.

I really like that latest entry with the cherubs and skull. I don't think you should put the cherubs behind the skull though, as you may be moving closer to infringing the 'Expendables' brand images.

I say #53 - its clean and would look good on a t-shirt etc., and can be branded easily!

I like that one too actually. The skulls just have that badass look to them, but that's just me, I like skulls!

What's your thoughts on the camo crown? Should we switch that up? Go back to a solid color...let me know!

aditya96 win for me, the Skull with the bullets around it look to much like the Expendables Logo
