It could have been worse. First thought I had was to do one with Carlos the Jackal

I thought someone was gonna make a really spiffy logo. Something with a font from the 80's... those robotic style ones that were such the rage as I flipped through Byte Magazine and dreamed of the day of 16-bit computing.

Come on, where are the artists?

EDIT: I have decided to consolidate all iterations of all my proposed logos into one post to save you some headaches.

First, a concept:

Then another concept, using Carlos-recommended fonts:

A second iteration of the same concept:

Same fonts, but simpler, at Carlos's suggestion:

Further Carlos-inspired simplification - C64 reference removed:

How generous of thee

Sorry, I edited instead of quoted - too much heat in this place to think straight!

Whatever effect you used to do the image is very impressive. No matter how hard I try I cannot focus on all of it at once. I've seen T-Shirts with the similar effect.

Edit: This is in public domain too, btw.
Edit2: Now in ColorVision

Simple, actually - remember that illustration program that MS bought and released as freeware, Expression 3? When you put a bitmap in it, it puts handles all over it for distortion. I just moved the the bottom middle one on the left side down and the top middle one on the right side up. It curved it automagically.

New logo coming soon, Carlos sent me some fonts.

This post once contained a proposed logo. Scroll up to my consolidated-logos post to see it.

I like this one.. maybe add some solid 8 bit colour to it. A lot of the early 80 logos had 2-4 colours in them.

I really like the Lemmings one, but that might be a bit too much copyright infringement.

I think we need an official tagline.

Dan, I doubt anyone will sue me.

Anyway, new one:

Edit 2: A couple of new logos have been added to The Consolidated Logo Post.

How about mine?

Your one spells "favourite" wrong.
