hello, in entry #15 I work the samurai with brights and shadows to give more the effect of volume, plus of that the type have a darken tone to focus the 3D idea.
Entry #16 only difference is the right nee, has a "pixel" work on it, giving the idea of the way that pictures form in 3D formats.
I like your work a lot. I like the depth with entry 24 and I think your design is very fresh and fun. We're having internal dialogue about whether a playful animation or a more serious approach would be more effective. We are also considering extending the logo to brand t-shirts etc and having a simple design would be conducive to that. If you want to hedge your bets, consider taking a stab at a version with a more serious tone.
Hello exploremedia, i read your comments, thanks a lot for it.
In more serious style Entry #36 tell me if I´m wrong, but I read the antique Samurais used metal stars as long shot weapons, I think ninja was the only. But i read samurais too. So i think a metal star in 3D style will be some simple, clean and perfect match to your brand.
