i htink it should be no reference to C-lite in logos caus it's a language not
the engine :
Torque and BV engine or other don't put any reference to Torque Script or Angel script in their logo and it's useless (just my opinion )

All the logos look great but I have a suggestion. (I'm too lazy to make that)
Someone could make a car with the engine visible , and put A7 on the engine , or put it on the back of the car like the type of car , and you could put the light bulb anywhere you want where the car has lights or put it on the back again for the model of the car

I would prefer a conitec-only decision.

I dont want to start an unserious discussion, but I think most entries look peaky. Too much colors, they arent fitting the black/white scheme. Even that odd a4 cube with that fire coming out was more serious than 50% of those logos (some are just images with 1000 applied effects which really dont fit together.

Personally, from my point of view, I would like the engine to have a serious top-notch logo without any weird stuff.. clear and carrying a message. I believe that A7 will be outstanding against it competitors and its ancestors. I'm as both a fanboy and serious enough to say that even the splashscreens (or logos or app.-icons, ...) in A6 made me stomaches.

You can go on with your stuff. Though, I wish from and evoke you, that this has nothing to do with the price or the fame. It is the opportunity to give the new engine a face, a professional face, strength and power.

I dont want to be ashamed to present an unprofessional logo on my A7 products. This is the only thing I want. Though, when JCL chooses one, two or 4 entries, but they arent 100% what he wants, leave them as optional "official and alternative community splashscreens" and spend 300 or 400 bucks on a professional service like logoworks etc. to develop a corporate identity for your new ground breaking flagship product.

I just wanted to say this.
Fire me. I don't care. I just want to express what I feel about this thread.

i totally agree with you, here are about two logos which are - from the perspective of a designer - above amateur level. but wait for the "contest" to end, i'm sure the best entries will come last.

don't get me wrong, i and everyone else for sure appreciate all these entries, it's really good to see so much potential out here.

agree too, thats what i said before.
The light version from HeelX lightbulb is not too bad either, the idea goes into the correct direction.

also i would suggest to let Joey make some concepts, he has some feeling for logodesign as i can see from old logos (except Rebelplanet, if it was from you, dont remember)

one logo which i really love is the one from Lightwave 3D. it shows the light and the wave perfectly in a nice and abstract, simple logo.

A7 should really use something like that. dont overtune the pictures, its just unprofessional.

Everyone should keep on posting here, so am I. We will collect a lot of things.

Since it is a logo contest (or splashscreen..), a logo should be also recognizable at a quarter centimeter (e.g. icons).

Actually, I think DaBro0zar has the best design until now. It just fits with the engine because it is 3D, yet it's simple AND nice to see.

Why should it be 8-Bit if it is used in the top of the engine starter-window?
Could you jcl please give us a rough idea of the dimensions this picture has got to have?
