I think I get what Dualnames means- paw as one shape, rather dark, and the planet in front, sans paw toes, in a lighter tone.

THe new version's great, Paws, go with it!

The main issue that I would see with having the paw image display as a 'hole' in the planet image is that it would look like a ripoff of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy logo:



I do understand that the image is a slight bit lopsided with the 'fingers' of the paw extending outwards like that, but I don't really see any need to draw it in any further - looks just fine the way it is, in my opinion. Also, working with too many tones or transparencies, it'd take away the simplicity of the image, which can currently be represented in pure B/W tones and look just fine. My vote is to leave it as-is.

I think the latest version looks quite good!  With personal logos and such, I recommend not focusing too much on what other people like and instead on what it is you want to represent.  If pixel-style art is a focus for your site, this design will work for you as long as it is consistent with the rest of the site. I don't think you need to worry about placing your 'qualifications' in the logo; leave that for business cards or an about page.

Thanks You're right But it's always nice to hear that it looks good

My god..I didn't see this...I swear it wasn't intentional T.T Now I feel like changing the logo XD

I only noticed it myself because it's on someone's signature (I forget who, sorry). Honestly, I see no problem with the image the way you have. If you're concerned about doing something 100% original, I'd say you're pretty much SOL, because nearly any insignia you could likely come up with has probably already been done. Especially with the proliferation of Sci-Fi, the 'ring around a planet or planet analog' is nearly a universal concept these days.

Besides, the way you have it designed right now represents your name nearly perfectly, I'd say. I like the way you have it, and as long as you keep it with the 'fingers' outside the paw as you had originally designed it, I don't see an issue whatsoever.

You've done a good job on the Logo. Finalize it and use it, and stop worrying about other peoples' opinions so much.

Seconed; I mean, people could sue MARS for having this ring thing that also was used in Halo.  : And in The Ring Thing, actually.
Finalize indeed, looking forward to it!

Haha, and the person whose signature it is in posted in this thread and everything !

Who else would have something to do with HHGTG in their sig if it wasn't DualNames? The lad's practically feverish with his love of it!

Great logo, by the way. I love those orange tones

[SpacePirateCaine]

Aye, I thought it was him, but for some reason when I went to check to be sure it wasn't loading from my cache, so I couldn't see it in his sig when I wrote the post originally. It is indeed Dualnames. And apologies to Dualnames for being forgetful as well.

And just to keep on topic with the thread, yes, I love the orange tones as well. Though, if you're going for 'old skool computer screen', Apple 2e Green is probably the most common choice. Regardless, as I said before, It's awesome as-is. I say no need to keep working on it, it looks fine.

No worries Caine, if there were boobs on it all people would remember it

On topic, originally seeing the clean version of it appeared as a copy of the HHGTG but as it is now, it doesn't really seem that way. And well, the way the cultural phenomenon of Hitchhiker's has invaded our lives, any logo containing a planet would seem to be a copy of it.
