Critical StrikeLogo Design Contest

Hello! Here are some hints for getting the most out of your contest as it progresses:

~~ Rank designs daily -- this will encourage participation.
~~ Rank a variety of designs to get a variety of entries.
~~ Ranking gets your contest noticed! Unless your contest is Private, 1st place entries are posted to the portfolio page: https://logotournament.com/portfolio
~~ Leave private feedback by clicking on a design. Feedback will be made public upon contest completion
~~ The more feedback you provide, the better results you will see.
~~ Designers are not offended by "Not Interested".
~~ Over-use of "Not Interested" discourages participation.
~~ Designers earn points for designs ranked 1st - 10th. We like to earn points.
~~ After your contest closes it will enter Judging phase. You can re-rank designs in Judging.
~~ While in Judging, the designer ranked in first place can submit revisions

We quite like the comical font that Fracco has used, so any variations of that should be suitable.
The 'defined' yellow explosion is also great.

With our target market consisting of gamers, this does not purely mean just hardcore gamers, but all gamers - ie. casual, mainstream and hardcore. The former two being the majority.

We would love a wider variety of entries - as long as there's some sort of comical fun conveyed in the idea (as our products 'sell fun')

We would love a wider variety of designs please. Does not necessarily have to be a ninja.

Contest Note: Hi all this contest is extended. The client requested more time for the following reason:

"Want a wider variety of designs"

We wouldn't mind seeing some logos with a tank rolling/driving over on the top left of our text (Critical Strike).
Similar logo would be the newgrounds.com one.

Tank design can either be a 'good looking one' or a super-deformed one, eg. http://droctoroc.deviantart.com/art/Metal-Slug-BigTank-Bead-Sprite-133873731
(just google 'metal slug tank' for images)

Another tank design: http://www.hobbykulture.com.sg/Portals/0/productimages/390_17b19.jpg
Please colour as you see feasible/appropriate
