PDX MicroLogo Design Contest

Please be aware that I will need this mark in the following formats: Black & White, Grey tone, Full color (all three with transparent backgrounds).

Hello designers! Please understand that I am looking for an intelligent design that incorporates all of the following: Elite Gaming, Viciously Fast, Visual FX, etc. I am also looking for a mark that will look fantastic on high end $3k+ gaming machines as case badges or even as a mark on the side of the case. The more intelligent design - the better!

Hello designers! I was asked to describe what I mean by intelligent design. Intelligent design is making use of my current name in the design (or even have nothing to do with my name at all) that is subtle but noticeable. Sometimes, the intelligent design aspect is not even noticeable unless pointed out. It is such a subtle part of the design that it subconsciously hints something. A good example is FedEx, Sony's VAIO logo, etc. If you look at their logo's, there's hidden design implements that hint towards something much more. This is only to describe what I mean by intelligent design - not how I want my logo to look like. I still would like it to look like something that would be on a $3-4k gaming computer badge or event printed on the side of the computer case. Here's a website that shows many logo's that include intelligent design: http://stocklogos.com/topic/fantastic-logos-hidden-meaning

Hello designers! Just to throw this out there, I have a logo and website located at: www.pdxmicro.com. My current logo is just the name - but I was looking for a logo mark/design mark that can not only go next to it, but also shows the following:

1) Elite Gaming & Visual FX
2) Viciously Fast & Raw
3) Expensive & Luxurious

If you feel the need to design a new logo next to your designed mark - feel free as I am open to that as well if it flows good - but I am also perfectly content on keeping my current logo and using a mark that goes good next to it. I hope this makes sense - and if any of you have questions, please ask! I really appreciate all the work and ideas that each and every one of you provide!

Hi designers,

I found the perfect example of what I'm looking for as far as "elite gaming" and "vicious". The only thing this is missing is the "intelligent design" implemented. Here is the example:

Hi All,

The client asked for an extension. He felt the holiday go in the way of this contest overall and feels it's back on track. Feel free to submit any new ideas.

I have also increased the prize - and may do so again before the end of the tournament :) Thank you all for your design ideas and please keep them coming! A perfect example of what I mean by elite gaming and vicious looking is the following logo:

Please use this style as your inspiration! Include some intelligent / hidden design with something like that and you will definitely have a winner :)
