OK, these is the first idea I had, using the star symbol as part of the letters, I tried to make something simple and easy to use as an icon, but it can be used for more elaborated stuff.

Thanks DaFeBa, that looks interesting. I think that the 'G' and 'C' may be misread respectively as 'C' and 'E', which would give 'CMIE' at the end

I think that changing the orientations of the star in these letters would solve the problem. Maybe I'll give a try.

Also, I've added a 'deadline' for the submissions : 2013/03/01
I hope this is not too short. Just let me know.

I worked mode of the defects you mentioned.

I can't upload an svg file, and forum refuses my external links because the are too "spammy"

I've been messing around with this for the last couple of days. The font used for G'mic is a batman type font that I found at Dafont. I did some bump mapping and other stuff to it.

Ok here's a quick try, I'll probably make another one when I have more time to devote to it...

Wow, I really like that glossy look and the outline. Will you tell us how you got that affect?

I would but I don't know if I can put it in a step-by-step guide... it was kind of a complicated process of trial and error, you know how it is, when you just start doing stuff and tweaking it and making it up as you go...

I'd upload the .xcf but the forum complains it's too big.

okay, I wouldn't even be able to guess how you made that sheen.

dd · **Joined:** Apr 10, 2011 **Posts:** 532

Oh hey, let me try again with a compressed xcf.

Ok that works, hope it helps.

Cool entry's so far...but one little thing: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Congstar.svg
It is a company here in Germany, you can`t know it, sorry.

Another quick one. Just trying out stuff...

Also, just to say "G'MIC = GREYC's Magic for Image Computing", not "Computation".

Some of my ideas...
(All vector formats, made in inkscape)

If someone found very similar logos, let me know. It is not easy to create really new.

I love the composition of that top one Chris.

The purple one by Chris is my fav so far. They are all so good.

I agree with Molly. The top one is excellent!
