    I like it very much, (and I make logos for a living.) For a splash screen it works fine, but you might wanna see how it works in other ways. ie: very small. On white as if printed on a magazine page, in Black and White for newspaper, etc...

    also: you might wanna try the flame in one color (yellow/orange gradation, maybe) and the text in another (the original glowing green?). Either two colors that are close together on the color wheel (ie: yellow and orange), or two complimentary colors (ie: orange and blue).

    edit: remember, though, yellow is almost invisible against a white background.

    Im gonna try that now and post it up later,
    Keep the comments coming guys, this is great!! :),

    Heya Thermo :)
    This is just something I've put together.

    Message me if you're interested! :D

    Hahha, not a problem LeonardDeveloper! :D

    I would be more than happy to make you a png watermark of your flame with the logo.
    In fact, if you like, I am happy to change the wording to your older font. (The only reason I changed it was because I recognized it as the Transformers font, and I wasn't sure if there was any copyright laws about that :P)

    If you're interested, let me know what you'd be willing to pay. I'm pretty easy in terms of pricing - and I'll work my hind off until you're satisfied with the end product ;)

    Cheers,
    MM

    LeonardDeveloper - get the one without the green, it looks more professional.

    It's not really a logo....Don't want to be the "evil man" but What did you do on this logo MoonMouse? Apply a grunge texture in product mode and a green layer?

    Leonard...It's about your money but sincerly, don't pay for that! It doesn't looks like a logo...It's not really profesional in my opinion..
  • mu-kowAPPSmu-kowAPPS Member Posts: 233
    Have you considered replacing the O in thermo with the flame? I mean the rounded bottom portion of it only and the top of it still sticking up. Also, I like the idea of no leonard developer

    @ Drak i know exactly what you mean but standard for excellence is pretty low in this community, mainly because most of developers here are not professionals. so be kind to them =) and for the ones of us who's used to taking harsh criticism constructively(i know you are)... got to be kind to the ones who doesn't experience that kind of expectation daily =) they are just doing it for fun.. that being said. the splash screen moon mouse made is worth the price he's probably thinking of charging... there's a price for every kinds of service =) professionalism is a relative term =) I learn that hard and clear being here for a few month. so just take it lite on the members they are kind folks.
    and hope no one takes it as offensive. when I say excellence... i'm talking about paul rand excellence, steve job excellence. and almost all of us are not even close yet, just striving to be.
  • ultimaultima Member, PRO Posts: 1,207
    i guess. to put it short. you either think the iTunes logo is ugly or you don't.. and for the most part.. it's just personal preference... if you think it's ugly as some of us do.. you'll probably complain about every single thing that you see =) it's nothing personal, just taste preference.

    try Stan R
    Look up Stan R on Facebook.
    H did the logo for facebook.com/fabledapps
  • ultimaultima Member, PRO Posts: 1,207
    same genre =) moon mouse's stuff will probably work for you.
  • DrakDrak Member Posts: 75
    No prob Ultima,

    I understand and I don't want to be rude but I find that unfortunate to paid for that ( reality is here...) I think that a Community is intended to evolve, so when you say that excellence is pretty low i'm agree but don't you want to see that changing?

    Yeah, I wasn't planning on charging very much for it at all. I'll admit I may have gotten a bit over excited, I'm a minor, see, I've never had a job, and the idea of making any money whatsoever is just so exciting for me.

    I apologize if I've insulted anyone. I never meant for that at all. Leonard asked how he could improve his logo, and I thought I'd whip this up for fun.
    It did take a bit of time, and it was a bit more than must a grunge layer, so I thought to upload it and see if I could make a little something for it.

    Once again, I'm, sorry if this has offended anyone. I guess this is a learning experience :)
  • mu-kowAPPSmu-kowAPPS Member Posts: 233
    Don't feel bad moonmouse, your art looks pretty cool.
  • ultimaultima Member, PRO Posts: 1,207

    @ Drak change is always nice, especially improvement =)

    @MoonMouse no you didn't insult anyone, you are just having fun. and artworks is pretty cool, it's just not what pros consider a "logo" because you applied effects to what wasn't a properly designed logo to start with =). But who cares, you are young, make a few bucks off your time.

    no offense to leonard. knowing that he provides graphic service all the time.. most of us fail at our own logo/brand. it's just an impossible project.
  • DrakDrak Member Posts: 75
    HEY!!No don't worry MoonMouse, like ultima said you didn't insult anyone here....you said :

    I'd whip this up for fun

    So why asking money? Do it for fun...And 'cause you want to learn and to increase your skills ;)

  • ultimaultima Member, PRO Posts: 1,207
    i think it'd only be fair if he can charge for his work freely =) you guys have completely different style and experience i don't think you'll get in each other's way. we can't go out and tout that we are better, there's always someone else out there who's better than we are.
  • DrakDrak Member Posts: 75
    there's always someone else out there who's better than we are.

    Agree With that my friend!
  • MoonMouseMoonMouse Member Posts: 75
    Thanks guys. I appreciate the suggestions and comments. :)

    I agree that we are all here to improve. Hahha! I highly doubt that anyone sits down and says to themselves "gee, today I feel like making a terrible game..."

    But hey, for me that's the best thing about the Gamesalad community - the fact that there are so many great people who are willing to lend a hand, ready to share their knowledge and experience with others.
    If we keep at it like this, then I truly believe that the quality of our games can only get better and better.
    And who knows? It mightn't be too long before some of us are developing the Angry Birds of the future ;)
