Logo Contest $50 - Martial Arts related

[urgeman]

I am running a contest to come up with a new logo for the website http://www.thenewwarrior.com

The site is a collection of Martial Arts technique videos.

Here are some things I want:

- Contain a graphic related to martial arts, use your imagination.
- I want it to stand out and be brandable
- Must contain the url 'TheNewWarrior.com'
- Must contain the slogan 'Knowledge is Power'
- Any colors can be used, but try and stick to the sites color scheme
- I want it about the size of the current logo but can by slightly higher or wider if needed.

I have seem some great talent here on DPF and hope that someone can come up with something great for me.

$50 by paypal for the winner
Contest to run for 1 week or may end sooner if I see something I like.

Note that I am on Australian time so I may not respond to questions straight away, but I will check this thread when I can.

spartacus: not quite what I'm after with the graphics, but I do like the oriental kind of font.

Ariestoteles: looks nice, but the graphic and font look completely seperate, and I don't think that font goes well with the theme.

Thanks for the effort guys, I'm open to any ideas people have for this, be imaginative, I want the logo to stick in peoples mind when they see it. ;)

[Ariestoteles]

thanks for feedback, sure.. just test the water... :)
will do some touch up..

EDIT: Missed the tagline, sorry. If you like the design, I can easily put the tagline then. Regards.

[PadraigCurran]

I will have a go at this!:D

[urgeman]

Ariestoteles: I like your last one, it's a nice clean design, but it still doesn't seem to have that lasting effect in my mind.

bizdakol: not really what I'm after, but it still looks good

zmaja: I really like the way you have incorporated the graphic into the word and it's a cool font... on the right track

I like the idea of the graphic being part of the logo and not just a graphic with the text next to it. All the logo's done already look good and I would like to see any new ideas, be daring I want it to stand out. :)

[mac_crazy]

urgeman, is there anything I can do to any of my 3 entries to put one of them over the top for you? Let me know. Thanks!

[mac_crazy]

Well, I went ahead and made a couple tweaks, then did up a banner:

[urgeman]

some great entries, I am finding it difficult deciding what I like best.
mac_crazy: Nice work, I like all yours
uneek not quite what I'm after, but I do like that it stands out.
demonhale:Looks impressive, but doesn't really relate to martial arts
crowquilllooks awesome, it is up there with the best, although I am not sure what the graphic is under 'knowledge is power'?

Thanks everyone who has put in the effort, there sure is some great talent here, I'm finding it hard to pick what I like best...

[demonhale]

Thanks for the feedback, will make updates soon, that's more martial arts...

Thanks for the feedback.The graphic underneath sentence "Knowledge is Power" is an eye. Stands for vision. Confusing?...I will update.

[mac_crazy]

crowquill: Nice banner, but "knowledge" is mispelled. ;-) Good work, tho!

[crowquill]

Thanks mac_crazy for info. Correction made. Few more updates.

I have an idea, but I need to work it out and see if I can bring it into a design.

[Hecky]

I think that someone should make a design with like a belt, like this Here (http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/2671733/2/istockphoto_2671733_black_belt.jpg)

It would look really good in a cartoon form, I tried and failed to do it, which is why I share my idea here.
