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 )

Yes, for once I agree with you. There wasn't a "Look we've got shaders" in the A6 splashscreen either, just because that was a new feature. This banner will be visible to people who play the published games, they most likely have no idea what lite-c is.

EDIT: damn, I had misread jcl's second post as stating the lightbulb was optional, but that was about the "lite-c" text. Well my banners are crap anyway

Also I think this isn't so much a logo contest, more a banner contest. The photoshop startup window doesn't contain a logo either (and JCL mentioned the photoshop startup window..).

So, here are my attempts. I hope the effects aren't overdone, but I don't like a totaly abstract banner for the engine window..
Version 1, black & white:



How it'll look with a window attached:


And a simpler one with less effects:


And another one..


The text in the last two can be changed or removed, and the 'A7' block can be placed right or left.


BTW, jcl, since the A6 splashscreen is baked into the homepage, the homepage will have to be redone aswell. Have you thought about that? And if it has to be updated anyway, please have those horrible compression artifacts removed from it..

Wow, already remarkable entries with some nice ideas!

- Some info: we don't need more text in the image than "A7" and maybe "lite-C". The web address and "Gamestudio" will be visible in the engine startup message anyway, and thus is not needed in the image.

- Take care of the 'fade to white' and 'fade to black' requirement - unless a border is part of the image idea.

- The format should be either square, or like a banner with a width to height ratio of about 4:1 or 5:1.

- Avoid very small details, as the final horizontal size will be only 480 pixels for the banner, and about 200..250 pixels for a square image. When posting entries here, use that size.

- The image will be displayed in 8 bit, so too many smooth color or brightness ranges should also be avoided.

- Last but not least: There can be more than one winner! (when we can't decide between some entries)

guys. LOGOS
Not render pics with 8234937482 Flare effects o_O

If this was about my entry, then let me tell you this: My picture does not contain a single rendered image. It is made up of 2 pictures, one of a lightbulb and one of sparks. It was pretty complicated to combine these two pictures into the one u see above:


Not a single effect nor shader was used.
The intention behind the picture was to show, that the Lite-C Language is powerfull. So powerfull, that indeed it blows the bulb.

I am sorry if I missunderstood, but is this supposed to be a banner contest or what?!
My understanding was, that this image is to be shown above of the normal "Engine Loading" screen, that appears in Windows before the game switches to fullscreen mode. And this was the intention of usage behind my entry.

its A7 not a7

As far as I remember in the A6 Loading screen there was also a lowercase a used to sorta mirror the 6 written behind it. --> a6

My logo tries to combine the number and the letter again, but different and more like the macromedia flash logo. That was the thought behind the logo.

…

EDIT: An 8-bit version is also possible without complications:
