Contest $20 - 48 Hours - Gaming League Logo

    Hello designers,

    I am going to be opening up a website called the "Championship Gaming League". Our focus will primarily be PC gaming, but we want the logo to expand to other platforms like PS3/Xbox so if you can, please stay away from any PC specific or console specific designs. I want to keep this simple so that you guys are free to be artistic. However, I'll try to provide some good direction. Either way, if you feel you have a better idea, please throw it out there. My options (outside of the colors) are just recommendations.

    Colors required: #C75B26 (orange), 23262D (Dark Gray), Fits nicely on a white background
    Required Words: Championship Gaming League

    Logo's I like:

    I like the web2.0 feel and look. We want it to have a serious feel. It shouldn't be gimmicky, it should be more professional. We want a symbol of some type to help identify the league. The symbol should be relatively simple where it could be displayed on a small size and still be recognizable.

    I know you wanted more of a logo like the ones you posted, but I just had this going through my mind so I wanted to try it out. I can make a concept like the ones you wanted soon, just thought I'd upload this one to test the unknown waters.

    That's decent, a little bit of a batman type feel to it. I don't mind the font and how you have it placed though. That's kinda nice. I would like something a little bit more eye-catching though. It's just a little bit to generic overall for me. Thank you for your submission though! I wanted to make sure I gave feedback.

    Lots of great submissions. I appreciate everyone who submitted something. Now for the feedback. I'll try to get to everyone.

    matt0216: I don't mind the font, it's not bad. I feel like the logo portion is lacking a lot.

    El Mariachi: I like it a lot. But, for a gaming site I'm not really feeling it. It has too much of a corporate feel to it. This would be my favorite if I was doing an attorney website or something along those lines. However, I don't feel like the logo portion accurately portrays what we're about.

    unyango: I love your logo, a lot. It has the gaming/abstract feel to it. However, the font is a little bit lacking. It has a 2.0 feel, I agree. However, it just doesn't look like it goes with the logo. I think it could be the size perhaps? I see a big gap from the top of the logo to the top of the word "Championship". Perhaps we could doing something different with the font?

    uanl_82: I like your "Gaming League" font. The logo itself is lacking for me. The stars feel a little too young, perhaps? I know we're targeting young males primarily, but we want it to have a more professional feel to it as well.

    jhaye: It's not a bad logo. I think it would be good for a book related website. However, it doesn't make me think of online PC gaming.

    gamelord: Thanks for your attempt. It has the correct colors, but it lacks a little bit of creativity and abstract feel I am hoping for.

    nitroactive: I really really like the crown/headset portion. It has the creativity and makes me think of gaming. However, I don't like the tall look. It would be hard to impliment into my website. Perhaps keep that theme, but do something more horizontal if you can find a way to do it? I would also like to add a little bit of color to it. Very good submission though.

    MA.Gfx: Good submission. As before, I'm not really feeling stars as part of the logo. That makes me feel like it is a bit young for where we're going with the website. I also feel like it lacks a little bit of an abstract feel I'm hoping to see in a logo for this website.

    ez-designs: I really like the headset, but the font is lacking a lot for me. The colors aren't exactly correct. Perhaps we could do something unique and different with the font portion to make it fit into the headset a little bit better? There is a large gap between the top of "Championship" and the bottom of the top portion of the headset. If we could find a way to do some type of unique and cool looking font and good colors I would like it a lot.

    nidhi1100: I like your logo quite a bit. It has a mean look to it which is kind of cool. Can we do a more horizontal/rectangle view of it? It would match my website a little better if it wasn't as tall, but was more horizontally spread across.

    dancow: I appreciate your submission. I can see what your thoughts were in combining the letters. I like the idea of having a scope feel since most of what we do will be fps's. However, it lacks a little bit of a web 2.0 feel and curvy feel that I prefer.

    metalbehemouth: I really like your font. It feel nice and professional. The CGL logo part is cool, but it feels a little bit blocky for me. It doesn't have a curvy feel in the logo portion to match your font so it feels a little bit choppy to me. I'm hoping I'm making sense to you here. I'm not really loving the logo part. As for your second one, I like this one much more. Much more of an abstract feel which I'm hoping to find. You are one of the top front runners.

    chlopzmazur: I like the badge. It has a cool look to it. The only issue is that it doesn't match the colors I need at all. Also, the bad looks a little tall for the word "Championship". At minimum, it would require a color change to be considered. Thanks for your submission though!

    nidhi1100, that would fit my site quite a bit better. Could you please play around with the fonts a bit? I know I'm asking for a lot and entirely understand if you can't get to it. I like El Mariachi's and Metalbehemoths fonts. I think they would look good next to your logo. So perhaps a web 2.0 skinnier font or something? You can surprise me, it doesn't have to be a skinnier font. I just think they would help the logo part stand out more. :)
