$75 Logo for Video Game Website

$75 Logo for Video Game Website

Project Overview:
I need a logo designed that says "Game Related" for a website in the video game industry that is going to have an online community with high-end graphics and a dark color scheme.

Design Style:
The client really likes graffiti style logos / effects for the logo. Please keep in mind the logo must be scalable and suitable for print, so if any graffiti effects are added that are rasterized, make sure to show m a version of the vector logo without those effects as well.

A color scheme has not been selected yet. Please review the samples below and come up with your creative logos.

Sample Logos / Designs:
Client says it would be great to have a graffiti style font with some sort of cool glow/effect like this website: http://www.ugo.com/

The client really likes these sample logos, graphics and website designs:

All - My client has reviewed the first 5 designs so far and CrimeProductions is the favorite. He has not provided anymore feedback just yet, but I will get feedback as soon as I can.

CrimeProductions - He likes you design, but not the colors selected. He really likes the colors at http://www.ugo.com/ with that blue glow. Any chance you are able to try some variations of colors and/or try in black & white / silver font with a blue glow like that?

Looks good, but I think the client meant they wanted to see effects like on that website - as in the blue high-res glow.....any chance you are capapble of doing that sort of effect behind the text? I understand that part would be raster and not easily scalled - which is fine since base logo (as it is now) can be used as vector and the raster version on website only.

tDesigns, katesrobyn, jokomamamita - thank you for your submissions. The client has said that those designs are not really what they had in mind and is not going to be selecting your current submissions or requires any revisions. Sorry to break the bad news and wish I had more feedback for you. You are more than welcome to submit another try if you think you can produce something that the client will like better based on the styles of designs in this thread that the client does like and/or comments that I post on the other designs.

samir_designs - Client likes your design. He does prefer CrimeProductions design more right now. The reasons being: your font is a bit too cartoon like and he likes the design in the background of CrimeProductions better. He thinks yours is a bit dark and font is harder to read as a result. Feel free to make alterations to the color scheme and/or the blue glow effects that I wrote about above if you want to re-submit a sample.

sarsh11 - great job, especially since you haven't made a logo in a while. Even though I just wrote that samir_design's is a bit too cartoon-like, the client really likes the cartoon-like style to your design. Could you please delete the .com and beef up "Related" a bit more - that word is too simple compared to the rest of the font. He would like to see other colour samples as well. He seems to like the baby blue style of the http://www.ugo.com/ website, so maybe give that color a shot?
