Tons of logos have an image of something or some abstract shape which represents something, and the text next to it. Famous example: kewlers.

But then again, Xerxes is not so much looking for a corporate logo, so it's indeed fine.

But maybe a stylized version would be handy, for on your letter paper and associate giveaways :D

Hypnotising. I like it very much.

when i first had a look at it earlier today i didn't like the concept too much because i just couldn't get the connection to xerxes at all, then somehow the x from the background started to burn it's way throughout the color-mash =)

the colors are very playful and one can tell that you've been on a xerxes-diet while you did that one. =)

A good test is to boil it down to a silhouette

Does it still work in this form? I think it does.

And by that I don't mean all the great pixelwork can just be ignored, I mean to work as a logo the silhouette has to be recognisable.

thx again ;) yes i worked first on the shape in the goal for Xerxes to make more than one logo with.

Its different, people should just give it a chance.
First xerxes logo was indeed cool, looked more serious at first sight but it was also kind of "common".
the logo is super cool ! but it does not give me the impression of ambient or electronica.
when i see it , i think more on the bitmap brothers. but it's still a cool designed logo.

it looks a bit like goa. :P
Thats not a good thing to say so.
Goa to me looks like lens-flare.
it could look goa, if you turned your screen contrast and saturation up way too high. But not with those colours..

(would you believe me if I told you I actually own this one)
imho ra's logo is perfect for its uniqueness : it doesn't need to look like goa or electronica, and assimilating some kinds of illustrations with such music genres is narrow conformism :p

1/ We never said it had to look like goa.
2/ It somehow has to make you think about some concepts related to the music of xerxes so basically, it *should* have to look "electronica inspired"
Discussions about logo design in pouet.
Who would have thought of that?!

Zest knew about I'm sure.

i'll bring the photo-camera!

btw, i love the logo, but i agree on the "it's too complex for simple use on shirts etc" stuff.. you'll always have to run with it in full-colour print mode. Maybe Ra can make an abstractized (ahem?) version of it that you can use as a footprint you can leave anywhere, including on the butts of competitors in music compos?

I think is really good. Not for a sportwear company, neither for a financial institution. But pretty good for Xerxes, it give a whole world and feeling to it. And if it makes Ra and Xerxes happy, then... DEAL!.

You should just keep it as it is.

Sweet stuff! I agree with what someone said earlier of it giving a Bitmap Brothers vibe with the subdued colors and smooth look, but in my book that is a very, very good thing! :)

What is the creation process behind it? I guess nowadays it's not pixel-by-pixel painting, but other techniques that's used?
