I wasn't expecting such an outpouring of excellent content so quickly. If I could change it to something sooner, I would, like 8/15.

Just to muddy the waters a little more...my 2nd submittal. Going for a cute little knight mascot, while trying to keep it simple for print.

Here's my third and final entry - feedback will
again be greatly appreciated:

Colors (+gradients), drop shadows, etc can be
added later - here's a very fast example (though
I like to keep it very simple anyway):

Oh, and you asked about using a logo in small
sizes - the small-sized logos you see on the screen
are much more blurry than on print media (since
print media can be many times more accurate, i.e.
they can have more resolution) but you can of course
get some idea of how well the details will show in
small sizes. There are also certain small sizes where
the logo looks best on screen (and most likely everyone
here will give you a logo of a certain size for on-screen/web use
after they have won).
Also, if the logo is made in vectors, it can be reduced
or increased in size very nicely (meaning the same file
can be used for a business card and a poster) - most
likely everyone here will give you the logo in some vector
format too after they've won.
Oh and also, some logos are designed to "degrade gracefully",
meaning that some details will intentionally disappear when
the logo is used in smaller sizes.Last edited by imaze; 08-09-2004 at 12:08 PM.

BlackDiamond could you give me any feedback on my logo, if you like it but it is not enough in the direction you want I could add something to it. If not then I can go another route.

Mmm, not really what I was looking for. Right now I'm thinking more towards the fantasy motifs - knights and wizards of various sorts.

BlackDiamond,
Could you give feedback on my third entry? Even though
I am unable to make another entry (due to the rules limiting
entries to three), I can modify this design afterwards if you
choose this design.
Thanks for the contest, and good luck all!

It's an interesting spin, but not what I'm looking for. I don't like that rule.....

Black Diamond Games Logo By Shane Link
Heres another attempt. Like the previous post with a more detailed wizard. Let me know how you feel about this direction. I have others to post as well.

Less Scary Wizard with the Diamond You Liked
NOTE: If you like this design I can make the fingers less scary as well.

I like the diamond with the friendly wizard, although the fingers are still scary.

figured I would take another shot and again, in another direction. (hopefully you can tell it is a armored knight on a horse's silhoutte)

Here are variations of the logo you like
Variations of the Black Diamond Logo
So as to not clutter the board here are some variations with the typography I picked out, if you want I can add games somehow somewhere just let me know and I will get to work
