Blast, that's to bad! ;-) Off course congrats to the winner, i like the concept. The Valve controls time. And thanks for the honourable mention. *deep bow*! All the best! :-)

I like it!! Don't quite get the gear even though i know it came from the HL2 logo. But nevertheless really nice work! Cheers!

I see what you mean, i dont think you're missing something, the valve is a little harder to recognize then the hands of the clock, i'm not sure if the valve has this purpose in the first place to be instantly recognizable. It is a over simplistic version of the valve from the second design (see...

Your not crazy! It's really a nice design. I had a digital clock pencil draft too, but couldn't make it work as well as you did, the bottom clock is hands down the better one! Good luck!

Today i've done a new attempt on the logo design. It is really fun to do! This time i asked my self (just like Narft) how can you create a logo, wich is clean as typography, is not cluttered by a accompanying 'logo' and still has enough character to be more then just a line of text and a...

I agree on some of your points. The grunge look for me is more about presentation, it gives the logo more feel to it when presenting. But i agree the logo should stand on it's own even without the grunge effect on it. Scaled down you lose the effect anyway. I definitely agree. It is funny you...

I really like the approach on this one, it has the potential of becoming a distinctive brand, like a badge almost. I like the VA approach, most of the time you end up with the V and T wich don't align that well. Also the colors are refreshing (and very Portal like). I think i like the left one...

Very true! And the other dedicated artists probably will submit their work under the radar and at the last minute so nobody can take a peek or get any inspiration of their work. Wich is fine in a contest, that is what i used to do to. But by sharing i might hope to get a better logo or better...

Thanks for that. I do see what you mean, it kinda does that because the red on black is typical speedometer appearence and you sort of miss the bottom half at first. On the other hand (no pun itended) if i also see/discover the other hand in the E (it's multipurpose) i don't get that feeling...

So since i couldn't sleep yet i started working on another idea in my head triggered by some responses over here, on the first design and designs from other contenders. I created a complete new logo. The ingredients are again, concept of time and reference to valve but more obvious then the...

It would look like this, but i use the latest version of the design, wich works a lot better when scaled down. I removed the grunge effect on the right part for 95%, this way it looks clean but keeps it 'real' at the same time. ;)

Thanks Vegeta897, I think there is alot not submitted just yet and a lot not made public yet, i think the topguns will submit next week. ;) In the meantime, please feel free to shoot on the design. What do you miss, what do you like. Besides the stopwatch element, i personally kind of miss a...

This is the last modification for this logo, (for now) i recreated the center button to be different from the outside 2 and gave the innerlines more body so it would look better when scaled down. I think i'm done with this study for now. With still a week left i'd love to come up with a total...

Haha, Thanks! Yes your clock works, pretty perfect! You only have to create a lot more instances with the perspective on it.

And here is the version without the grunge.
