not sure

About our company name: "idojo": the word idojo is a combination of i+dojo. "i" represents the self. It also represents internet, connectivity, technology. Dojo is a japanese word for the place where you train for martial arts. Dojo represents an arena, a place to play, a place to train. Thus "idojo" means a place to play with technology (console, pc games, internet).

idojo: The "i" in idojo must always be a small letter. Only 3 ways to write idojo:
(1) idojo
(2) iDojo
(3) iDOJO

Suggestion for character logo: Ninja or Assassin. (OPTIONAL but recommended)
You can use whole body or just a particular area of the ninja. For example, you can use just the ninja eyes/mask/head, but you can also use a ninja/assassin pose or silhouette. If you're having a ninja character, the font you'll use for the "idojo" must not be playful or too fancy.

Why ninja: dojo=japanese concept; ninja=japanese. Also because our current logo uses a ninja character. There will be continuity if we will still use a ninja.

You may suggest/use other characters/symbols that you find suitable.

Best if character / symbol can stand-alone in the future. For example, we the Apple logo, Shell logo. They can go without the company name.

Use of character or symbol is not required but highly desired.

We want a logo/character that is COOL, UNFORGETTABLE/CATCHY and TIMELESS.

We are ok with tilted/angled company name. For example, "idojo" on a 45 degree line.

We want to achieve a balanced combination of fun+professional look. This is the image we are striving to project. This is who we are: A fun place to hang-out but our equipments are top-of-the-line, our ambiance and service is first class. And yes, our prices are not cheap.

Our clients are cool kids/teenagers (from 14-late 20s), and families who want to bond with their kids (usually 3-13years old). We also have a lot of parents going in our store that drop off their kids to us. So apart from the "fun" concept, it is really important to have a "professional" feel.

    Update: As most of you know already, we are now moving towards an icon separate from the text. The text (company name) will now play a supporting role. Our final choice will rest on the most unforgettable and unique icon. We also would like to invite everyone to submit a picture of their logo in a tshirt (white, gray, black, and red) and business card/membership card (white, gray, black and red). No need to design or add details. We just want to see you logo across media and see how well it holds up. Thanks and looking forward to your designs!

    Attention Designers!! MycroBurst permits you to submit unlimited designs with unlimited variations. However, if you are providing 2 or 3 different color versions of the same logo in one draft, please make sure that if the particular draft gets finalized, each color version should be separated before you will send the final files. Thanks, MB/LDG/LS Team

Feel free to experiment with any type of font as long as it goes with the over-all design. Just avoid using Foreign look, Script and Curly fonts. Thanks!

    Hello everyone, Thank you for the time you've taken to create your designs. We've reviewed most of your portfolio. Please don't let the optional use of the ninja icon limit your creativity. We are open to submissions that do not have symbols or those that used an entirely different / unrelated symbol. Thanks!

    Draft #20, #21, #22, #23: I like that you separated the symbol from the text. However, the symbol doesn't work for me. How about we make the symbol less roundish? The eyes are good, it's just the mask. I prefer the font you used for #20 and #22.

    Draft #24, #25: I like the over-all concept. It's clean, has all the elements in it. I especially like that the symbol/image is separate from the company name. Over-all this is good. The only thing lacking is the WOW factor, something that would make it unique and unforgettable.

    Draft #26, #27: How about we try another font? This looks too Tapout-ish / MMA-ish? Although it looks nice. Feels like a hardcore gamer. Can we add more texture?

    Ninja eyes: Most designs feature ninja eyes which show or depict rage, anger, threat. Please avoid using such because the logo might evoke negative feelings. Please try to use neutral eyes / stance. Happy/anime-ish/chibi-ish are ok.

    So far, most submissions combine a ninja and a weapon along with the idojo text. We think that it would be better if the designer only use one (either ninja or weapon, but not both).
