I'd do something simpler, see the attachment for an example I made.

Ok, that may not be my last try. Is this simple enough?

Decent enough, if you lose the horrible background gradient and antialias your text :)

This logo is almost perfect, just use an antialias and, don't use more than 2 or 3 colors, and don't use that weird yellow light in the middle.

Take a look to this
{"name":"logo.jpg","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/7\/9\/7988c2572713a1e661d0b35c6ac7bf8a.jpg","w":346,"h":59,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/7\/9\/7988c2572713a1e661d0b35c6ac7bf8a"}logo.jpg

For a game logo you can use gradients, but for your company logo, few colors looks better.

This is a logo I have had for a while. I don't really like it.

It is supposed to be an "I" inside of a "C". Stands for Chimp Inc.

It's not perfectly cnetered either...

Yep, that lkast logo is just perfect, but it wants anti alias :)

Well, ang that green jack is just great :)

I need to say you, that SamuraJack logo is not bad too.

The scary thing is that the 2 minute green jack logo by Matt looks pretty good. :o

Clean it up a little, make it all green and black and it'd work well!

here, i've attached your new logo. keep the royalties; this is entirely freeware! i used some stretch_blit effects, but nothing too complex, i hope.

by the way, unless you want your logo to appear on engrish dot com, you may want to change your catch phrase to "revolutionary gameplay."

An old font (reminds of DOS consoles :D) for a 'revolution' logo? :)
Anyway, you should try to make something non-standard and simple :)
Or simply go with Matt's logo :)

actually, that's allegro's default font. i use it about 90% of the time.

A logo should be simple and easy to read. A good logo can be printed using only black ink. Look at the Nintendo logo. It's not simple because they couldn't come up with anything more complex. It's simple because simple works. My attachment is a 2 minute PSP logo. It's based on the codemasters logo.

Simple. You can change the font colors to make it into two colors. You can easily drop the "Revolution Gameplay" if you want to. And the lightning bolt makes you think of power.

Whatever you do don't use a logo with gradient backgrounds.

I think that's better. Now the words are perfectly readable.

Now that you point that out I remember that in nature (IIRC) black and yellow means 'danger'. Like the stripes on the back of the bees :-/

It could probably be an unconscious thing, but I'm not sure humans still understand those natural symbols

Yeah, that last one looks like a screenshot halfway the logo animation. It should be something extremely simple at the end. Maybe try making the 3D part completely yellow, just one single colour, no gradients, no shadows, nothing, and the text just plain black. See attached file.

The contrast betwen yellow and black is stronger than the one in Mica's image.
