Alright, that one obviously wasn't very good, so I made another one which (I hope) is better.
I think that is pretty good. I like that face and LEGO letters, but just the rest are little rushed.
It still isn't really a logo plus it is far to small. A logo should be made simple using basic colors and should be easily changeable, I'm sorry but that really just isn't the definition of what a logo really is. If you don't get what i mean look at the logos I made on page 23
RealBrick wrote:Okay, I have said this many times before, but this drives me crazy when I see it. This is a definition of the term logo. A Logo should be a graphic that catches attention, it is not a picture of a minifigure with your name next to it. There are billions of combinations for minifigures out there. I would give a number, but it just gets bigger every time Lego cranks out another set. People are not going to associate a specific minifigure with you. If you want a logo people will recognize, be creative. And take this as an example. Look at the BricksinMotion.com logo. If I were to take it and desaturate it, then shrink it down 75%, would you recognize it? Now take your logo. If it is a minifigure that you find recognizable due to the green shirt, desaturation will remove that factor. Or is it the new curved-brim hat that makes it so recognizable? Shrink it down and it's now just any ordinary minifigure. Take a look at the IBM logo. True, it is text, but the font is designed to make it unique. Please, before you just post a picture of a minifigure and slap "legoman98forever" on it, take time to come up with a creative and clever logo. And don't feel down if this is your first shot at a logo, Lego went through several changes before it's current one.
This thread is like a broken record.
I just wanted to try my shot at a logo. This isn't for anything, just a test. There are some things that could be improved, but overall I think it's decent.
EDIT: and another one with a slighter shadow:

It looks good overall, JP. But for the net graphics, I would suggest having a couple strings hanging below the rest, like a real basketball net. Also, I would suggest some color variations. Maybe black font with orange basketballs?
Here's my new logo: 
Pretty plain, but I like it.

Here's another variation of it:
EDIT: I added a shadow for better sight of the nets:
Anteater, I think your old logo is much better then this. This is just a text with some fancy font, which isn't a logo at all. Your 'old' logo was more unique and you could tell that it was your logo. Not the same case with this.

Oh dear.
Please, take 5 minutes to read the rant that Living Lego re-posted. Logos are not words, they are graphics. Before you march around with your name in white on black, make sure you know what a logo is. For everyone's information, the 5 second image or video at the end of a film is your closing, or a stinger. They are often called logos because typically, large corporations will use their logo in the closing to tell you to watch more from them and to look for said logo. Do not confuse them. Feel free to have your name at the end of your films, as you are young people who want to advertise your work, but this thread was designated to show off your work as a young graphic designer or just to let everybody see the new LOGO you made or someone made for you. For the sake of mine and every other graphic designer's sanity, leave the name's for the end of your films, not here.
Yeah, that's just some font and you used it and then you wrote you logo to black screen and that's it.

something happened that it copied my post and created new one and posted both... I don't know why 
An attempt at a logo for JStudios. I think it's alright.
EDIT: Something weird happened with the stroke effect on the torso. Durn.

Wow Realbrick, that's just amazing! 
Thanks so much for making it, I was actually thinking about making a logo, but I think you did a better job than I ever could have done!
Logos are not words, they are graphics.
Sooo...what about the logos for Coca-Cola, CNN, Raytheon, and Oracle? These are all essentially stylized words. Are they logos or not? I'm not advocating for these images people keep posting, I'm simply curious.

Those logos are stylized text, sure, but they're a graphic as well. The words or work is given an adjustment into an image after being , you can't just type it (not without using a font made after the designing of the Logo.) What people are doing here is going online to find pretty fonts, downloading them, and typing their name, then submitting it saying how good it is.
Would this be considered a logo?
Edit: Rounded corners.

I wouldn't really think so, because it doesn't identify who it represents that well.
I guess a basic definition of a logo is a graphic that incorporates the name of who the logo represents. It has to be more than stylized text, yet it still needs the text within the graphic. In other words, the graphic cannot be just fancy text. Yet, it still cannot be a graphic with text slapped on. There has to be a certain blend between the two.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

On a serious note, though, logos do not always have to have your production name in it, it just has to be recognizable, distinct, and pertain to what you do (Someone correct me if I'm wrong).
EDIT: Mighty Wanderer, I don't think that qualifies as a logo, as it's just a black minifigure with a fancy circle cutout around it.

The problem with such a logo, Mighty Wanderer, is that while it is somewhat stylized, it's still rather generic - the LEGO minifigure is not unique to you.
Thanks, Jargon. So how would you find something unique to you?
