New MyGaming logo - cast your vote!

[kevin_s]

I think the first one looks badass

 

[Mister 44]

I embrace change.
I also embrace option 3.
Dunno why nobody else seems to like, though.

Please remember to vote, don't be one of those "my votes won't make a difference" type of people.

Vote for change! Be the Difference!

I like the 3de one but also that freaking A needs to stop sleeping on the job and stand up straight since my mom does not know this site so well she could not make out what it said.

But the ghost needs to also migrate with the logo since its been with us for so long.

 

[Kwaai]

I'm still a fan of the current logo but hey, guess option 1 is my favourite of the new bunch.

 

[tpex]

As has been said multiple times, Option 3 does it's job badly, it's not clear what it says,

I would begrudgingly choose option two

 

[Donisia]

As sad as I was to read about this change (I love the little ghost), I'd go with no 2 first and 3 seconds... once again that lazy A puts me off... Many changes seem to be happening to the Forum

 

[MetalSoup]

I don't like any of them. Plus a new logo would make my MyGaming t-shirts irrelevant which I'm not very happy about.

I actually kind of like the third one, but I could not help but wonder, what the hell is mya>mina and what does it have to do with gaming?

If the g's and a were more obvious that would definitely get my vote.

If change must happen I added my vote to #2 . But as others have suggested, not entirely convinced by any of these options to be honest.

The teardrop thing looks familiar to many because, as [MENTION=5134]MalicE[/MENTION] points out, it is pretty well used. First thing I thought of when I saw it was the Withings app icon on my phone:

The gradient colour scheme thing is a bit meh too. I think the strong red and blue of the existing logo should be kept.

I understand the intention of perhaps starting to reposition the sites' identity towards a more serious and professional games journalism look-and-feel, but [MENTION=2226]InSanity[/MENTION]'s "pretentious business logo" point is valid.

It's still a gaming site for gamers and games are supposed to be fun. The brand identity needs to retain some of the fun of the existing one. I'm not sure how - [MENTION=395]Wenzdayz[/MENTION] idea of keeping the ghost in there somehow is exactly what I mean. There needs to be some continuity linking old to new.

Hatch job on the quick:

Too many elements going on there. You can't focus on the ghost and controller motifs at the same time and the striking red in "my" and the "i" continually draws your eyes all over the logo.

Personally, I don't like any of the options suggested in the OP. I do agree that MyG can do with a slight modernizing or refresh, but the 3 suggestions in the OP really appear very amateurish.

 

[brendanvb]

Personally not a fan of any of the 3, but picked the first one as it's the best of the bunch imo. As some others have stated, the third one is kinda hard to read...

Think an opportunity for a pretty awesome "Design Our New Logo!" was missed "whistling:

 

[Hagan]

I like the first one, just incorporate the game pad "g" into the first; I'll be happy.

1. The Current logo is great.
2. See No. 1
3. It looks like you want to rebrand, to achieve what? (Answer could help understand the logos you have already "selected")
4. No gradients, please.
5. I don't really like any of the current options.
6. I also don't like the text style of either option.
7. Option number 3 has zero connection with this site at all.
8. That bubble in No. 1 feels familiar, I just can't place it.
9. You could make No. 2 work I guess
10. Also the colours, try keep the existing colours.

Disclaimer: I'm not against change.

Not voting 'cause I like none of them, but if I had to choose something new, then something like this ^

 

[MetalSoup]

Now I know where the colours come from.

 

[marco79]

I like the gaming theme of option 2.

 

[minus1]

Where's the Gamey McGameface option?

Wowee that looks nice. If MyGaming doesn't go for that would you mind making one similar to that for my little on the side business? I'm willing to pay.

I like this .

 

[beans100]

I like the first one the most, then the third. The first one looks awfully familiar though!

Ubuntu?

 

[Solitude]

Ubuntu?

Nope, it's that teardrop that's so familiar to me.
