Logo?

To be or not to be.....that is my question. I have been messin with this darn logo forever, just can't seem to get it the way I want it. Here is a newer version:

What do you guys think?

very nice. Looks like crap on the grey background but on blue its very stylish :D

thanx...yeah the first one is just how I was working on it for contrast. I am still not sure about the design, but I may use it.

To be honest, I'm not sure if I like it. It's too complex to be a logo in my opinion. It kinda seems like a design you'd see in an old castle or church or something. Simplify it.

Ditch the triangles around the perimeter and keep the middle thingy. That would be a logo. What you have now, is a logo with a bunch of other useless shiat around it.

Yea, what o2 said.
I think you need to pick one element from there, and make it usable. There's just way too much stuff going on for a logo.

I know it's said alot, but still.....take nike's logo as an example, it's perfect. It's beautiful, it works. It's just a fu**king shape.

That's what great logos are made of. Having that much stuff is not very usable, simply because it's not special, it's hard to make out hastly spotting it somewhere, and you can't print it out looking decent.

I think you've got a start, but I do agree with o2 and paavo.
just remember that when you design a logo, that is something that will be connect with the name of your company and you.
so your logo has to be something that really describes YOU as a person/company. like the nike check mark, it automatically brings the shoe company to mind, or golden arches brings mcdonalds to mind.
but like I said I think you have a good start.

You guys didn't read the text I put on the link page did ya? You sillies... eh, but I luv ya anyway.

"Ignore the colors, they are just temporary. I will most likey just use the center image on my website."

The outer stuff was really just for fun, I have been on a shape odyssey lately.... can't quit messin with shapes. Mostly to improve my logo skills.

Thanx for the c&c :D

*Edit*

Don't you think the one on my sig is too boring? That is my original logo. It represents the 4 4's ...for the 4th dimension, not too boring?... I have this really cool idea for it, but I can never get it to work. Take three of the original put them together to form a sort of triangle and then a small one in the middle......to make it more dimensional...make sense?
