8-Bit BrigadeLogo Design Contest

Lots of great entries so far! Please remember that we prefer a symbol to a word mark and something that does not prominently feature the number 8. Feel free to try out some video game related icons and keep it fun! I am trying to keep everything ordered so everyone can see which designs are working for us. Thanks.

I would also like to apologize if I have over-used the not interested category without giving a reason. I have been reading your forums and will try to be a better CH! :)

Our website has a redirect at www.8BB.me - You could use that as a tag line if you want.

Thanks about your website it could be interesting know more from you.

About Us

History:

8-Bit Brigade is an evolving group of gamers that originally met through DVDTalk.com. The core members of that large Halo clan later became Let Us Win, which was organized on Bungie.net. Later the name 8-Bit Brigade was settled on due to most of us being old enough to have been part of the old arcade and Atari days.

In 2005 it was proposed the clan launch its own forum and make its place on the web. After a victory in Bungie’s Humpday Challenge we drew new attention which resulted in an influx of recruits. Soon we held our first official Clan Meet where many of us met in person for the first time.

Nine Clan Meets, thousands of posts, and hundreds of beers later, we continue to grow and change. Most recently we added our Front Page and finished our second annual fundraiser for the Child’s Play charity.

Who We Are:

Currently we are a solid group of about 30 people, most in their mid 20s to mid 30s. We started as a Halo clan, and that is still our core, though we play a wide variety of games across different consoles. We are a diverse group that enjoys everything from fantasy sports and board games, to DVDs and tea drinking. You will find discussions in our forum on music, cooking, movies, books, and politics.

Our Policies:

We play to win and we play to have fun. We believe in good communication, commitment, and fair play. Modding, glitching, and cheating of any kind is not tolerated in our group. Trash talking and spawn killing tactics are not welcome. We have absolutely zero tolerance for any racist, homophobic, or bigoted hate speech in any form.

Don't feel obligated to go with a military theme. We're very open minded and are still hoping for some outside the box ideas!

Designers, we have lots of images here that we really like, but haven't found the one that we love. I want to take the limitations off. Make some cool number 8s. Give me your best word mark. Don't be afraid to use some gaming images - use an old school joystick. Use an arcade cabinet. Pixelate something. Make 2 N64 controllers form a number 8.

Just give us your best shot.

There are tons of things here we'd love to throw on a shirt, but nothing that screams out "logo for the next 5 years".

Thanks for all your hard work and great designs so far!
