well, image manipulation is no cakewalk, but i think your entry was good, however, jcl said that all the logos will be viewed in 8bit, so doing huge image manipulation and effects would make the image look really bad.

@jcl: i'm keeping my original idea, but i'll be altering it a bit as well, here are some more entries:

white:

black:


white:

black:


i personally prefer the black background versions, but that's just me

a quick question, you say that for square entries it should be 250 or 200 px, is 250 by 188 ok?
