I agree with B (hey, that rhymes!). The last one is my favorite, but all three are too pixelly. They needed to have been antialiased. Try going in with a tiny lil' smudge brush and smooth it out a bit. Try not to make it blurry, though... Anyway, those are some AWESOME logos. Nice job.

personally i think there is way to much stuff going on...a logo should be simple. it should look the same at 20x20 pixels or 200x200 pixels...yours will look bad the way it is at 20x20 pixels. i took a couple of min to make this image...when i looked at the logo this is what i saw as a simpler version of it.... http://members.tripod.com/litzo/logo1.jpg
i think you have a great idea...but it is just too complicated.

I think LITZ is right, a logo should be simple, self-explanatory and easy to replicate (i.e. draw it's basic shape in less than 5 seconds). The logos maybe fine for web-use (although still way over-filtered), but I wouldn't use them for anything other than that.

As some wise man once said: "Keep it simple"

Another guideline I usually stick to for logos in general, is that you should be able to create them as a vector graphic (Illustrator, Freehand, Flash etc.)

ok, that would work for an image map/interface. but if you're going to use it as a stand alone logo, i think you should simplify it somewhat. and recreate it in illustrator/corel to get a crisper design that won't get pixelated at any size.

I think that a logo should be as simple as possible, but that's just mine opinion.
Anyway i like the first one best

, maybe
the green outline breaks with the style?
Oh, what was the logo gonna be used for?
Something personal?

well the reason it is so choppy cause I was working on it in a low res format and then saved it as a crappy JPG size....I'm redoing it and yeah its for personal use.

LITZ. your vindiction is exactly what the LOGO will probably look like....but the ones I posted are gonna be part of a web interface.

EYE CANDY AND XENOFEX ARE COOL!
