What do you think ?

Nice, clean work :-)

I really like the fonts, and think the colors are fine - although maybe just a bit too dark on the black background to work in smaller sizes. The large size would work fine for a splash screen, I think.

About the iconography, I don't think it tells very much about the company or it's games. "Goldbox editions", perhaps - but not very intuitively or immediately. I would suggest something that conveys the message more clearly, whatever it may be. Use figures to trigger the players imagination, or at least some expressive graphics to suggest an emotion or energy related to the products. There doesn't seem to be much "adventure" in the simple figure the way it is...

But as I said, I think the overall look is nice, clean and pro.

It looks good, I would say post smaller images like 50 percent it after you create the nice big version.
Would make good splash screen, as said already by fred. Does blend well with the black background.

I like it.

I don't mind that the graphic doesn't really represent anything.  I don't think it NEEDS to necessarily.  But that's just my opinion.

Another thing I would suggest is to remove "Adventure Games" from under Sektor 13 ... I think it would look better without that.  Just a thought :)

Yes, I know about the box ! I just didn't have any idea.
I don't know about "adventure games" text"Mandarb, i think it is good.. what do you guys think !?


Here is remake for 320x240 as it is mostly used resolution for retro adventures

(http://www.golden-tomb.org/sector/logo2x.gif)

It is more blurry because of low resolution..

As for the shapes in the logo (circle, triangle and rectangle) i thought to represents some sectors :  ??? !

There is a difference from the first to the second logo, regardsin "lightining". I know, it's not a BG, or something realistic, but in the first you have the edges of the logo lightned from the other side and the inside of the letter from the other.

You have corrected this on the second pic.

I like them both.

Actually I made that reversed colors in the first picture deliberately. Well I am experimenting..

personally i prefer the top one, but bring the logo itself closer to the type, it looks as if its floating aimlessly at present.

I like the first one best! It's much cleaner and simpler. And the lighting's great!

YEs, first one is cleaner, but because it is drawen in 800x600, second is in 320x240 and it is much harder to draw thin lines and reflections..

You're very mistaken about 320x240, it was hardly ever used. 320x200 was used instead.

Is I wrote 320x240 i thought on low res games (320x240 and 320x200), there is not much difference.. well 40 pixels :D
