Vector format. Kept a very similar scheme so old viewers are not confused. Logo is simple and works well on all backgrounds and in monochromatic tones.

Thanks, looking at it again, I realize that I should touch up the text kerning a bit, so ill update it a bit later.

Here is the updated version with some kerning to make it look a bit more friendly and professional.

FEEDBACK AGAIN PLZZ...THANKS... "I CAN CHANGE ANYTHING IF YOU WANT" and Tell me if you want me to change the flame there....thanks Peter

You want an honest opinion? I really like this .. a lot but there is a few problems:

1. The colors need to be a little more easier. Not sure what colors, but generally speaking.
2. If I had an automobile competition for a site, this logo would be my TOP choice.

Overall, I think a lot of this decision is based on the fact that I'm seeing "cars" / "automobiles" for this type of logo. Please don't get me wong, it's great .. it's just not what we see Pictual being promoted with.

@DrRax - You really could have fooled me with the $20 font vs the free one. If I may give my honest opinion I would have to say the complete oposite. Looking at it again and again, that font is starting to grow on me.. but there is just something wrong... I'm not sure and I really can put my finger on it

Simple, sleek, nice and big. I think you've entered a few competitions before becuase if you know anything about buyers, you'll know that slapping a SAMPLE over it (as a watermark) defeats the overall look and feel.

I can't say that I don't like it, because I do. However, It's very hard to compare such sleek elegance with the logo submitted by saves the day where there is much more going on in terms of design. This contestant was able to take some thoughts thrown in the competition and make them happen without too much overkill.

I would say this is the 3rd top logo, but I think that's only because it's so big and IN YOUR FACE. I do like it, but I'm not sure if it stands up in terms of the look and feel for Pictual.

THANK YOU very much for your entry.

It is only big because it was done in vector format, and usually, you tend to capture more detail and make less mistakes when you start big. You wanted something that would look good on an envelope, so I took into consideration that you may be interested in using your branding on multiple media formats. This logo can be resized to any resolution without losing any quality

For example:



Or even:


And as a brief... easily changed thanks to vector, example:

You are going to want to have a scalable logo sooner or later, whether it bee for media print, tshirts, printouts, receipts, or even promotional graphics. They can be strecthed to any size without every losing quality.

No problem for the entry

Ya, Peter, I posted this on GreyCobra.com. So you might get a few people here.
By the way, GreyCobra, what name do you go by on GreyCobra.com? Boy that's confusing.
