Logo Design Brief
An Intro to the Rebellion:
The Rebellion is a gamer movement that challenges gamers to check out Jesus. You can find out more at our website, http://RHQ.me
Our Current Logo: http://lts.cr/BI0L
Colors:
I'd like Red and Black, but it should look fine with just one color.
Inspirations:
Here are some Logos and thoughts to draw inspiration from:
I like the resurgence logo style - http://theresurgence.com - red/black/simple R. I'm okay with the whole word, "Rebellion" in the logo - feel free to play around with the letter R, the whole word, or something completely different not using letters.
The Rebelution - http://therebelution.com/
The Riot games logo is pretty cool - http://www.riotgames.com/ - and something along those lines is fine as well. However, I'd appreciate it if it didn't look like a copy of the Riot Games logo and looks different.
I also like the TeamJL Logo - http://teamjl.net - because the many dots can signify people and community in the rebellion.
Random Extras:
I put up a sketch I made a long time ago at http://lts.cr/BKvF - but it's very very limited by my imagination/a random scribble, so feel free to ignore it.
Another one I can think of but am having trouble finding is just an R with a star around it, or something like that. Others I've seen have used a Hand - http://www.freewebs.com/eventresults/rebellion%20logo%201.bmp
I hope that gives you some ideas to get a kick start.
Thanks for taking a peek at this project! :)

Hi Everyone,

Project Deadline Extended
Reason: Things have been busy at the Rebellion - we just completed a Giveaway (RHQ.me/giveaway), and we're working on a Christmas event for next week.
Due to all of this, we want to leave community voting on the logo until January so people can take a good look at the logos and vote on them.
Also, we haven't had time to give designers feedback, and a few designers wanted to submit additional designs - extending the deadline allows us to use the week after Christmas to provide feedback.
I realize everyone is eagerly anticipating the winner, but I feel this is best route to take to give our community the time to make a good decision, and to provide all of you designers the feedback, time and attention you deserve.
Thanks and Merry Christmas!
PS: I'll be taking a closer look and providing more feedback on logos the day after Christmas. Thanks for all your hard work.
