What.

[Mariolee]

What.

VGBA Has Voted. Anyone who doesn't like the winning logo should have sent me a PM vote when they had the chance. :/

Congrats to Eggboy.

I'd be curious just to see the numbers on both voting sessions when you have to time.

stevencho, did you have a design in the final group?

[Rex_the_dinosoar]

Congrats, it's a really good logo.

[Deividas]

Congrats Personally I dont think it fits the style of the website and is a little too cartoony for the site, but it still is a pretty sweet-ass logo

I totally agree with the above statement.

Yeppers.

[mchapra]

This doesn't fit with the site at all.

This doesn't fit with the site at all.

It is what people voted for, perhaps people want to take this site into a more fun style?

Eggboy's logo won on its own merits with those who chose to vote. From a design perspective, however, the logo is a mess. I'm not saying it isn't pretty; it just isn't a solid design. The font is put to good use, but the styles and colors used don't match. The use of one color on one part of the text and a different color on another part of the text is fine as long as the same style is used for both. The logo uses not only 3 various color schemes, each scheme uses a differing style than the others. This is a blatant design no-no.

No I didn't submit an entry. I'm just surprised. And oh I didn't realize you had to PM. I just posted in the thread.

[super-mega-hyper-sonic]

Yeah I really don't like it either. Looks like something from one of those glitter text sites. Sorry Eggy.

I did not vote in the second round since I had an entry in there. Call me stupid, but it feels weird voting for my own entry if I find none I like better.

I want to ask, was it obvious which entry was mine?

I'm guessing yours was #14?

Same here.

No, that was mine.

[Crotale]

Mine was #21. The premise was simple. The graphic that the V sits in is an indication that VGBA is a site where its members tend to think outside the box. The line drawn over the boxart is a "not" symbol, to indicate that we do other art as well as boxart. The text is clean and bold, the 2-dimensional elements were used so that the design scales well without modification. It also lends itself to abbreviating the logo to VGBA without loss of brand identity. The yin-yang supposition balances itself graphically between the two chosen colors. The chosen colors were derived from the site's color codes.

[RAiDeN-209]

I voted for #21, but this one is still pretty sweet. It was tough for me to decide, though, because this was more artistic while #21 fit better with the site.

[Spiderpig24]

This is the one I voted for, and while it wouldn't go great with the style of the website it works well as a logo.

I want to ask, was it obvious which entry was mine?

I knew it was yours because of the domain you uploaded it to

[tmrd]

I have to say, I feel really bad for Eggboy. I mean, he won, and the entire site is digging on him and complaining that there were better ones. I didn't vote at all because I loved all the logos, this one being no exception.
So yeah, good job EB!
