Spice up my basic Logo? Please

[5days]

Hey guys,

I just finished the design of a basic logo:

I was wondering if you guys could add some shadows or gradients or something to it (sticking with the original design :)) just so it doenst look as plain. I was thinking of maybe a green colourscheme for the site that it will be going on so do what you think will look good with that.

Thanks

PS: Credit can be given on the site if so wish. (The site is still a little while away though :))

EDIT: Its not another forum site. :p:

I can't do it right now, but I can when I get home before I go to work. Maybe make them the black right now have a boarder with looking like chrome or carbon fiber, and then in the middle grunge which if you don't know is like a dirty look. Then add a lighting effect so it looks like it's in a low light situation.

Sounds interesting. Thanks.

By the way could you also try a clean look? :D

And dont bother fiddling with the text (I'll use a font generator) just the logo. :D

I'll give you a couple versions of it (about 3 - 5) :) I hope I can beat other people to it :lol:

Not my style, however I like the idea of having a white outline around or inside the text. :up:

Its better than what I could do. But its a bit too 'extravagent' for what we want. Just a basic logo that doesnt stand out too much. But thanks! :toast:

I think we have a winner, except I edited it to remove the build up within the letters, I hope you dont mind? :toast:

Also if its not too difficult do you mind explaining (using not so technical terms) how you did it? :)

[BlueWonder]

Just recreated your logo in illustrator and did some fancy stuff... very basically. Same with the XS logo. just recreated the normal one... and vwalla. add fancy stuff. (the blue crap in the middle. Lol plus add a T instead of an S.)
