EPO Gaming

Tagline

Include this tagline in my logo.

Describe who/what this design is about

We
are an entertainment poker company. Our logo should represent fun with poker. In particular, Texas Hold 'Em. We provide the same experience as a WSOP (World Series of Poker) or casino type of game, but without the expense and with a lot more fun and entertainment in a laid back atmosphere.

Abstract

What colors would you like?

Would prefer standard card game type colors (i.e. black, red). But would also like casino table green as a possible color including texture (possibly as a background?). Basically, any color that could be found on a casino poker table

How many colors do you want in your design?

not sure

Do you have any additional suggestions or ideas?

Some ideas that have been floated around include the following: card spreads, letters on card backs, stylized aces being turned up. The latter would be something like the attached image (though not turned up so high) but in an outline in the style of the Epic Mickey game's logo; like a paint splash. However, open to any options. Ultimately, it should be unique, simple and convey fun.

Thanks to all for all the great designs. It was a pleasure to see the talent out there. We will be picking a final design in the next couple of days. Cheers, icegunner

Draft #45: EPO is just too big and bubbly. Also, the cards are just too generic.

Drafts #42, #43, #44: A little too complicated. Perhaps remove EPO Gaming from the cards and just have two cards instead. #42 has the right font and size I think for the EPO Gaming outside the image. Also, a little bit more artistic/abstract on the card edges.

Draft #41: Too basic. Letters are too big. Card should be smaller and not turned up so high.

Draft #40: Perhaps no banner and remove the chips. Also, no gradient on the cards and change the card suits to hearts and spades. Prefer the EPO Gaming to be on the side.

Drafts #38 and #39: Too complex and cartoony. Too neon looking.

Draft #37: Instead of having 3 cards there, maybe only 2 without the EPO as part of it and more curved like the attached image and a bit more abstract.

Draft #36: The image seems a little too 50's-ish. And, the dot on the "i" in the black and white alternate and the top left alternate seems to run into the heart.

Draft #35: Looks good. Bottom left alternate image though looks funny. Shouldn't that be a black and white? On the center alternate, do you have any other options like that?

Draft #34: Gradient could be a problem when putting onto a felt. Also, the EPO in the image seems too boxy and square. Need more of an abstract image.

Will extend for 3 more days to get a few more designs and some finalizing. Still looking for something that uses more of a card motif. Something similar to the image attached to the brief.

Draft #33: Still too complex and the club just looks weird; too many angles.

Drafts #29, #30, #31, #32: Like that it's easier to see the EPO in the image. The images in #32 are good, but prefer the fonts in #30. Especially like the center alternate image in #32.

Draft #28: The grey coloring doesn't fit very well. And the suits seem a little too basic.

Draft #13: Looks ok, but too much like other logos I've seen. Primarily though, it wouldn't work too well as a sub logo as it's a bit too complex an image. Also, should either be 4 cards or two cards. Preferably aces if shown.

All drafts: EPO should either be entirely capitalized or entirely lower case. Not "Epo", either "EPO" or "epo".

Draft #22: Looks good, but suits might be better centered. Also, the "glossy" nature of it wouldn't work well on table felt.

Draft #15: Would prefer the image on the side. The club motif is good and unique, but something a bit easier to read in the image; abstraction of the EPO is a bit much.

Draft #12: Like the alternate view with the image on the side. But, the heart and red coloring doesn't seem to fit. Like the card motif though.

A unique, creative logo is what we're looking for with an image that people can see and associate with us. I also like the alternate options for other uses. This goes for draft #15 and draft #12. The simplistic designs of draft #22, draft #23, and draft #24 are also good.

Been gone the last few days. Sorry for lack of comments. Will post comments here now instead of to designers privately.
