    Hello Again DP!

    I'm here to commission another logo design via contest forum!

    Some basic rules will apply:
    -All files and fonts used must be submitted upon payment
    -All designs must be either .psd or .ai with all paths and layers included so that we may tweak in-house
    -I reserve the right to close the contest if none of the entries are satisfactory, I may choose to reward the best out of the bunch
    -I would prefer logos be posted in the thread but I will accept entries via PM

    The website name is: http://viticus40k.com/

    the style should be a gritty sci-fi feel. The website will be blogging about tabletop gaming as well as the hobby of warhammer 40,000. it will also feature related videos and pod casts as well as hobby related tutorials. The logo does not have to necessarily represent this but it could be interesting.

    Below are some links for inspiration, all rights are reserved by gamesworkshop.

    Great entry my only feedback is that I would prefer if it was more icon driven than type driven for the logo, try things like bullet holes and weathered metal:

    It's just a latin word that was made up for the website, it doesn't have meaning to it. However the art style for 40k draws mostly from ancient roman military emblems and iconography. With some greek influences, so we're looking for eagles and olive crowns and skulls and that kind of thing. I hope that clears it up a little bit

    Great entries so far from everyone, I would like to see a few less eagles now, lets go with other roman theme'd things, remember it has to look good in color as well as black and white and gray scale

    Hi Ruski,

    Ive been lurking around these forums for a while but as a 40k player i thought i would give this competition a shot. Afraid my entry is another eagle, but if you like the style i'd be happy to try another logo in the same style. I'll do a bit of playing around with colours as well, if theres anything specific you would like me to change in that respect (or any other) let me know. Any other feedback you might have would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers,
    Tom.

    pehulz: can you please take out the white noise looking background on it and just leave the lettering with the weathering

    Tomasta: try to not have such hard bevel and stroke.

    in all honesty I think after seeing some of the entries in my PM I would have to say its better to lean towards the MVNDA logo a few posts up, thats really what we are looking for, thanks for your entries I look forward to seeing more
