To be completely honest, if I were criticizing on a comparison base, I would give this a 1/10.

If you'd like to find out why, read on.

From what I've seen, logos are not normally very big, bold, bright, extravagant and colorful. Infact, some of the most recognizable, good looking logos that have withstood the test of time are simple logos. The best logos I've seen across the net are often simple. They don't have to be huge pictures that show off basic photoshop and paint skills.

Some examples of logos below;

- Newgrounds
- DeviantArt
Spoiler for mcd logo big:
- McDonalds

As you can see, they're relatively simple, and they're very easy to recognize. Maybe you shouldn't go so far out of the crowd that it looks like an abused photoshop window made by splicing images.

Of course, that's just me being honest.

Here's an example of something I think would be more suited as a logo.

Noobjam...

well, i understand your reasoning, cuz this doesnt look very good when actually used. this one is sort of like a portrait logo. i guess i could make a smaller one to use for regular purposes, and this one as like an alternate or...i dunno. im kinda at a loss of words.

noobjams point about simple logos being effective is a very good one.

However I wouldn't worry about it too much - you're not launching an international food chain or web portal, you're just a couple of mates making some web games for a laugh.

I like that you included something from both of you + I reckon it'd look great filling up the screen for a few seconds at the start of the game.

They will never be famous for making a great free online game.
Does anyone know the name of the creator of Avalanche? Hell no.
