this is a instant winrar !!11!!1
to give some constructive criticism, I suggest using comic sans and some more lens flare... and call it Awesome Game Studio and add some catimages

+1 Vote for Ryan and Subspark's version.

Selmiak, did you consider combining your 2 concepts? (pixels behind the cup and inside the cup).
Also, maybe you could replace the pixels behind by some sort of horizontal rainbow Roger? (you take Roger's sprite, turn it 90 degrees, and apply effects, so that only connoisseurs notice it's actually Roger)

[Monsieur OUXX]

I'm taking th eliberty of un-hiding this, as it can be overlooked by someone just browsing

April 1st startup, maybe? Oceanspirit Dennis' birthday? Do we have an international troll day in some country? Anything to make this stick?

[abstauber]

you need a reason for trolling nowadays? Besides this is no trolling, it just reflects my frustration that I obviously have time to do splash screens instead of working on my game or even keeping promises of helping other folks out.

@Selmiak: Those changes are way to epic for me brains! But I'll gladly upload the psd tomorrow

[selmiak]

so I made my dark night version with (public domain) galaxies and stars and also included this nice cup (in a cupshaped form (cupception)). Looks very spacey
also with these huge pixels.



and as my mind was wandering here it is with a starry night...

No offence meant! I just recognized the "troll face" meme and thought there should BE a troll day so that we can magically link that image to the date of said International Troll Day. I wasn't accusing you of trolling! 
This post isn't trolling either.

I am also really warming up to that "grande cup with round handle" and the pixel background.

[Stupot]

I should be doing other things with my evenings.
But sod it. Here's another one.

I love those galaxy ones actually. But I'm not too keen on the spokes coming out from behind the cup.

[Monsieur OUXX]

@stupot : I like your latest production but I think it can do without the bubbles -- that pattern is too big compared to the other nearby patterns. Smaller bubbles could be worth a try.
@selmiak : I like your latest productions but I think it can do without the pointy flares around the small cup. I'm not even sure the smaller cup is necessary at all -- its style conflicts wi the larger cup's style.

[abstauber]

I've found some more of Sparky's and Ryan's goodness:


Also I love the workshop attitude around. So please feel free to grab and use my source files so far (not that I'm a PS expert)

@Ghost: Oops, sorry. To clear up the confusion, that's the "forever-alone-and-happy"-face, not the troll face
@Selmiak: That last cup should miss it's left handle


edit:
I couldn't resist, thank you so much for your feedback, Selmiak

AGS Black Label .

The black one looks fantastic.
There are some very nice ideas in this thread, this will be hard to decide.

[Miez]

Cool activity ... let me share my 2 cents:

[Stupot]

@Miez. The top half is very nice, but I'm not overly keen on the army of cups in the bottom half.

[Crimson Wizard]

The July Is Coming.

@Miez. The top half is very nice, but I'm not overly keen on the army of cups in the bottom half.

Good point ... I have an idea for the lower half, making it less "legion of cups" and a little more playful. I'll show it when I have some time to cobble it together.

Personally, I really like the Metro AGS design by abstauber and the one by Ryan Timothy. I'm not sure I agree that those styles come off as "too serious for an amateur game creator", in fact, I think AGS has produced some amazingly professional and serious games and it should forge forward to become more well known and more serious (adding things like integrated touch/mobile support, better support for steam etc).

With that being said, I can understand that people have different tastes! I decided to do a couple of ideas and include a slightly simpler idea, perhaps more in-keeping with the current logo, and a version with a more serious style.

I've used abstauber's Metro as a base, I hope that's okay, if not let me know and I shall take them down!





Here are the PSDs if anyone wants to have a play: idea1 - idea2

[Miez]

I really like your second design, calicoreverie. Not a huge fan of the font you used for "copyright 2013..." but the rest is pretty sweet!
