Thanks to all the designers who entered. It was an extremely tough choice, congrats to atrox for his winning design.

I will be choosing a winner tomorrow, get you last minute entries in now!

If your design is still up... congrats your still in the running. Thanks to all those who have worked so hard on this so far. A lot of you are very talented, but just didn't submit what I was looking for. The decisions are just getting harder to make now.
I will be presenting these survivors to a panel of experts (my buddies) and see what kind of reactions I get tomorrow.
Again thanks for some wonderful submissions.

I have narrowed down what I want. I like the fact that #11 has incorporated a gaming element flawlessly into the design.
I tried the smiley on the page and it just wasn't doing it for me. So no more of those.
I have made a mock up logo on my website. It has ozuto placed in front of a set of bloodshot eyes, with the pupils looking through the o's. If anyone with a lot of talent wants to take a crack at polishing up what I did, it will go well with the sites new theme.
This is a gaming site, but I am not gearing it towards small children, so something edgy is going to be better than something happy.
Logos I like the best #11 #35 #40 and #57 would be up there if I could read it. Use them to make a winning entry but try not to copy anyone of them.
Thanks and have a fun day!

For the day its a toss up between #35 and #23. I look forward to more cool entries. Use those 2 for inspiration, but again no more smileys. I want to see different ideas. Thanks for all your hard work so far. I will be back tomorrow.

NOTE TO DESIGNERS: I have seen enough entries with smiley faces. Try a different approach at this point. I would like to see something fresh.

#11 has added some arcade elements into it, and while I am unsure of the legalities of using the pac man symbol so blatantly, I like the overall design. Does anyone know if you can copyright an image of a pie graph with a dot in front of it? Or is it a registered trademark when used in conjunction with the pac man name? Any attorneys in here want to give some free legal advice? Hehe
So look at #1 and #11 for ideas about the elements I am looking for.

To Gamersdestiny, no I do not want any copyrighted characters in the design. Just a fun design.

To swdesigns, I would like it if the logo could be all one color and still look good. I am not opposed to gradients for presentation, but the logo should also be able to stand alone.

So far #1 has that element. It is simple and can be recognized in monochrome. Still it is an arcade, so have some fun with it.

Thanks for all the entries so far.
