    James I'm new around here but it seems you've just very well defined what plagiarism is...

    *edit* I understand that digital media is subject to plagiriasm, but who's to say 2 works cannot be similar. My submission was in no way an exact copy of the posted example, only similar.

    I didn't mean to offend you James, I just meant I think he wanted something different to the other logo that's all. Sorry.

    FOR EVERYONE - after seeing a few designs, we have decided we would like a poker chip with the letters ETR on it to feature as the image in the logo, and we would also like this image available seperately.

    Nitro - I don't really like the image, and how it overlaps the font making it hard to read, and the font looks a bit basic. I like the positioning of everything though.

    ottopottomouse - try and avoid green. I know we didn't set any colour targets and I do like green, it's just hard to pull off on an entire site. If you could try and make the poker chip i mentioned instead of the cards that'd be good.

    Tropica - don't like the green background, or that chip, or the text actually. try again? :)

    James '78 - your first attempt was Raketherake and whilst we showed their logo for reference it was more to do with size and compactness rather than please attempt to copy this. New effort is pretty good, but try and change the cards to the poker chip design

    DennizZ - take "the" out of italics and please use our actual tagline. If you can put a stylized ETR on your poker chip and play with the colours. It's not that those colours are bad, the suits/tagline just don't stand out enough. You could make the tagline slightly bigger too.

    DaveyBoy - first kinda original logo - I like it Again, if you could change the ace at the start to be a poker chip with ETR on it. And again, green is hard to pull off on a whole site so change the background colour. The pink and purple aren't bad, despite it being a threat to my masculinity, but could you experiment with a few different colours? Looking on track though.

    Saves the day - I'm a big fan of this one, but please use our actual tag line. If you could change the graphic to a poker chip with ETR on it using similar colours we're onto something here.

    Some good stuff now people, keep it coming! :)

    Could you make the ETR on the chip a lot brighter and clearer? In fact the logo as a whole could be brighter, it looks a bit dull. Looks quite nice though.

    So does that mean your not interested in any of the other designs and your looking to work with saves the day. If not could you update your thread with an end date or something, thanks.
