REQ-LOGO Gaming logo required

[jdab]

I am in need of a logo for Gamertag.net - this is a domain I recently aquired and I am currently developing.

Type of Contest: Logo design
Prize: $30
Contest End Date & Time: Fri 8 May 2015 - 13:00 GMT
Size Requirements: No specific size but must fit into the space at www.gamertag.net and www.gamertag.net/blog (in the header area of the blog and in the bit above the words "xbox gamertag checker" on the home page) - should be landscape (no exceptions)
Color Requirements: Mainly white as it has to work on a green background, but I'm open to logos with accents of other colours too if you feel it would work
General Requirements: As usual, I'm leaving the designer to be creative. The logo must contain the words "Gamertag.net" and nothing else. I'd like more emphasis on the word "Gamertag" and perhaps have ".net" smaller and not as 'in your face'. It would be nice if it had some form of logo using the word that I could then use in social media icons, favicon etc. Possibly something fancy with the "G" that could become brandable? It's entirely up to the designer.
Additional Information: Good luck!

Modified font with gradients to add depth. The slight gradient in the background is to add a spot light effect. If you do like this logo, adding this effect to your CSS would only take a minute, which I can help with if necessary. Feedback appreciated, thanks!

Thanks - remember that the text "xbox gamertag checker" would be remaining on that specific page, under the logo. Can you also show me it on the blog?

 

[NameFu]

Thanks. I'll play around with the colors in my next post.

I stylized another font, by modifying the G, A, E and R, reshaping and bringing the letters closer together to make the font look a little more "brand-ish").

Thanks Gamertag is only one word though

 

[NameFu]

Sorry, to be clearer, I meant that I brought the letters together in general, not just the words combined (that part was easy, just type it as one word). I personally find it more brand like to bring letters together with certain fonts that are very spacey.

I edited my post to correct my language but you were faster in your reply

Thanks guys! Looking through them all now.

 

[jdab]

I'm looking for something that has a logo incorporated, something that I can use as an icon. Along the lines of what @bashariqbal has done with the controller, but I want something a little bigger and with more detail.

Oh! OK. I was wondering why you didn't want anything else but the words, but figured you just wanted a minimal look when you said "The logo must contain the words 'Gamertag.net' and nothing else". Could you please tell me which of my designs you liked the most, so I can kind of get a feel of what kind of font you're looking for. Was it the design that you "liked"? Feedback is always appreciated.

Now, I'm off to designing something additional to incorporate and will come back to this contest soon. Thanks!

The OP says "It would be nice if it had some form of logo"

I like your font from Post #6, and then an icon like something on https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=g...KYPbUaHdgZgC&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1920&bih=945

OK, Thanks! Working on it!

 

[bashariqbal]

Tried to improve my previous design as per your feedback...

I like it a lot! Could you show me how the dogtag would look as an avatar? Like for a social media profile?

 

[NameFu]

I made the tag more eye catching with high contrast in this icon, so that it's more recognizable at smaller sizes, but to be honest with you I think you would probably do better off with a simple GT. I'll giving you them both, in case you change your mind later.

 

[NameFu]

And if these will be your FB profile images, I'll send you additional icons with straight corners, so that they fill in the squares.
