I'm extremely impressed. I need to go over these with my biz partner on Monday, but it looks like, with a few modifications, you'll be winning this contest...You're honestly putting a lot of work into this and I think we'll probably be paying you more too.

I need to see one other sample though please.

Can you make the lightning even more of an orange/red and take some of the white out of it?

It comes off a little pinkish almost.

I'm also going to take one of the pictures and make some notes on it for you and repost it. I really like how the "S" is connecting with the U and E... the only thing is that the lining need to be done a little differently. It's lacking a minor amount of fluidity.

The bottom logo with the molten sun looks decent too, but I don't think it was quite was I am looking for.

Can you come up with something for my symbol too? I love the Fuse Computers, but I also need something separate and stand alone from the text...ie: Nike needs its swoosh.

I'm really thinking about some sort of metallic sphere split into four pieces with a glow coming out of it, or some sort of fire. The XBox logo is kind of what I was thinking....If you can think of something better I am all about it.

Thanks and great work! I'll post more on Monday when I have time to talk to the staff.

Do an exploding barrel!

People would remember and recognize that logo.

Which one? The one with the lightening all over it? Or just in the "U"?

Will give it my best.

let me get back to you tomorrow on the first question. I don't want you to do anywork you don't have to. I'm leaning towards the one with just the lightning on the "U", but I want to get some second opinions from the rest of the staff.

Fuse computers in front of a swastika with the ends of the swastika having sharp points and impaling children and black people.

for the symbol, I'd do something like this(but better):

That's because you canucks spell everything wrong, like "cheques."

Check and Cheque is a prime example of the recent trind of the world, more and more magazines and newspapers (printers in general) are choosing the shorter version of words to save ink, so I'll bet that Cheque will die out before Check does =)

Hey Ralf, what if you incorporated the slanted "S" shape that you find commonly in standard fuses in your logo? You could have the "S" glowing and sending lighting or electricity to the other letters.

The "S" could also be your Nike swoosh.

I would take a shot at making you a logo if I had better software.

that is a really great idea! Maeya is almost done with the logo as it stands now but I think I might incorporate that in a later revision.

i think griever's idea is a lot more unique. that big shiny letter deal is a pretty boring graphic design and when i typed "fuse logo" in google images i saw a few with the S connected to other letters, similar metallic letters, etc....

i went into school for graphic design originally and just as constructive criticism i'd honestly say that the fuse design in shiny letters with lightning and shit is not a very marketable image. not to mention the silver on black scheme and shiny letters feels really akin to ATI's label designs

Show a 3-D picture of an orange extension cord plugging into itself, with the male/female connection about to connect covering most of the front and the wire running behind it, much like a snake eating itself with a space background. Throw the necessary lightning bolts in the center for effect and rake in millions.
