[QUOTE="WhiteChocolate, post: 263746, member: 4374"] for a first-pass, i'd say "pretty kewl" for a stripped-down look, while paying homage to tha roots... these days, deeply into the design-for-monitors/net-instead-of-print era, logo design can be a good bit more extravagant than it used to (need to) be, but some brevity/compactness/succinctness in design still don't hurt anything. you always wanna be able to make the core design as big as you might need, without too much fluff blocking the way! (the encompassing 'circle-nova' thing, i'd personally say, has gotta go... :) starting from scratch, are you guys committed to the UC/lc/spacing of 'BlahCade'? or are variations of it ok? like, "BLAHCADE", or "BLAH CADE", or even hyphenating "BLAH-CADE"... or, all UC, but emphasizing/larger-size on the BC, with slightly smaller size on the trailing letters? or even going all lc, "blahcade" (and/or any of the above suggested variants)? unless it's a really good typeface, i wouldn't recommend all-lc... can depend on the 'face, but i'd trend to just all UC... or maybe even just "blahCade"?? that's symmetrical, at least... again, depends on the 'face and how it looks! try some samples of a dot-matrix font, like the DMD displays of old, although i personally wouldn't commit myself to it... i'll see if i have my ye-olde typeface binder packed away someplace and dig it out. sorry, getting really picky, but graphic/logo design is kinda my forté... ;0 i think the flipper/ball elements still def apply; they're nice framing elements - but first, maybe just think about the kind of typeface treatments you like best. then we'll get into the graphic elements/placement of things...
