			<description><![CDATA[Wow, thanks for going to all that work Caveman!
I like the "Highlight reel projected on a wall" aspect, and having the film reel act like a projector was certainly inventive. But that projector must need repairing, because I've never seen one put out that much smoke before. :P

Thanks again for taking the time to make that, as you said, it's too long, but I think it could be a good base.
The room looks a bit too empty, and it almost gives off the illusion that we're looking into a cardboard box.
Right now the main question is whether I want to go with a more simple look, or a more complex sequence.

			<description><![CDATA[Hey Pritchard Studios,

I uploaded a video to youtube of another logo potentially. I just through together real sloppily, but you'll get the point. I think that it helps to incorporate the film wheel and the brick built "P", your style of videos, and of course your name. It's a bit less simplistic, and far too long, but again, this was just me toying around with the idea :) . The link:

			<description><![CDATA[Using his own words,
[quote=Pritchard Studios]Rounding it would be pretty hard because of the programs that I am using.[/quote]

I already suggested that.

I do like the reel design with the circle in the middle, but I'd suggest rounding out the corners of the triangle-like shape (oh, what's the name?), like it is in a real reel  such as this one: 
[img]http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRj0aMllc900JgLmyDlJj2zD-WCemuRJ2N1BpbDP8OeaSziMa4q[/img]

That is, if it's not too hard to do that.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Well, apparently I never made (or never saved) a high-res film reel version.
So I made [url=http://i1234.photobucket.com/albums/ff416/PritchardStudios/pslogoreel1_zpsc9aa37de.png]two[/url] [url=http://i1234.photobucket.com/albums/ff416/PritchardStudios/pslogoreel2_zps843c6216.png]new[/url] ones today.

Don't really care for the failed attempt at replicating the "Star" symbol in the middle of the reel, and I like the three section design better, but the four section was easier was easier to whip up on short notice. 
Sorry I didn't get it to you before.

And thanks for messing around with them!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Which font color is better? I like the green, but the gray matches more. 

[quote=1011Ev]Whatever you decide to do give it a more realistic motion. May I be supplied with your logo and the name of the font you used? (If you wouldn't mind).[/quote]
It'll probably be nothing but a simply fade in/out, but I'll keep that in mind.

Font is Century Gothic.
The only copy of the logo with the "film reel" design on it that I can find right now is the [url=http://i1234.photobucket.com/albums/ff416/PritchardStudios/logotest3_zpsd0ff83ab.png]full thing with a background.[/url] 
But I'll try to get you a high-res better pic with it later. 

Here are the [url=http://i1234.photobucket.com/albums/ff416/PritchardStudios/pslogo2_zps081180dc.png]two raw[/url] [url=http://i1234.photobucket.com/albums/ff416/PritchardStudios/PSlogo_zps7d64bace.png]parts pictures.[/url]
There should be a download link under "Options."
They're linked here in case anybody else wants to play with them. 
And yes, I am aware of the fact that I'm probably building this logo all the wrong way. :P 

 
[quote=PrestigiousPieProductions]I'm saying that you should animate your LOGO like he did his TITLE SCREEN. But, you do not have to try that.[/quote]
I'd rather have a CGI logo, it looks sleeker, is more professional, and is more the design that I'm looking for. 
But thanks for the feedback!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[[quote]That one with the black/dark colored logo and text on white/light color looked the best (#4), in my opinion. 
I am not 100% sure what the 1X1 round tile is, but I think it is a film wheel, am I correct?[/quote]

Yes, you are correct. And thank you, that's seems to be the most popular design, so some form of it will probably become the final logo.

[quote]Don't pay attention to his logo, but the thing after it. You might be able to get a more precise, clear, and unique logo if you tried brickfilming it rather than animating it.[/quote]

The way I see it, (And I may be wrong!) is that he has his logo first, and then an animated title screen for the film second.

The title screens for the films may or may not be animated, and aren't really what I'm concerned about right now.

[quote]If you stick with computer animation I'm all for the one with a white background and gray text![/quote]
Yep, that pretty much confirms my choice.

[quote]I'd like to add that the film reel looks a bit square-ish, you might want to round it out.
And I'd also like to ask what program you're using to make the logo and animate it.[/quote]

Rounding it would be pretty hard because of the programs that I am using.

I'm bringing the bricks into Lego Digital Designer, then using LDD2PovRay to convert the files, and finally using POV-Ray to render a high-res picture of each part. Those pics are then brought into Sony Vegas Platinum 11 and animated.

Yeah, it would be a lot simpler to animate and render it all in Blender, but I haven't put forth the effort to learn all of the tricks to using said software. At this point, it's easier for me to do the longer process.

Making the wheel part spin independently is tough and time consuming, but not impossible. 
So I'll see what I can do. ;)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hey man, I've seen this sort of on channels like Kooberz, where they brick film the intro for whatever episode they are filming.

Here's the link and you'll see what I mean.

Don't pay attention to his logo, but the thing after it. You might be able to get a more precise, clear, and unique logo if you tried brickfilming it rather than animating it.

Just a suggestion,
Joshua from Prestigious Pie Productions

I am not 100% sure what the 1X1 round tile is, but I think it is a film wheel, am I correct? If so, I recommend having it spin independently from the 1X2 plate to help signify that, but that may be difficult depending on your software. What are you using?]]></description>
