Hello, here is the final web-logo for Xerxes-music.com.
All rights reserved to Xerxes, both him and i wanted a feedback:

the logo goal was to inspire Ambient & Electronica feeling.





It was made for website design and some paper flyers perhaps,
a limited tee shirt edition will be available at bp09, if the feedback is good...

c'est très beau !

colors are the best :)

very nice

Technically it's solid as hell. But it looks kinda dated imho. But maybe you want to go for a bit of retro feel?

Awesome. I want to touch it...

Looks superb to me and definitely fitting for the feeling you wanted.

it is, ofcourse, most important what i think of it - and i love it. its a good point about the retro style.. the name xerxes itself stems from a king who existed about 2500 years ago. so dated is not bad in that sense :)

i think the logo is a fantastic piece of work.. it's unique (to me at least) and as barry said, i also want to touch it hehe :)

great work RA!

I want logos too... Hm... maybe I should work on some more (and better) music first ;)

Oh, and the logo looks awesome - I would really like to see it together with a context (it be text or other graphics)

with a context?... wtf!? in a context!

xrs: Xerxes became hip and happening again after "300" came out though :) But fair enough, if it fits your vibe it's fantastic for that.

It's beautiful! My only beef would be that it doesn't include the text "Xerxes" anywhere as far as I can see, so you'd have to write that somewhere for people to understand. Klaus ain't Prince ;)

its a nice picture but I dont think it works as a logo
overdetailed and not very memorable. maybe alter it woth more emphasis on X

Just lovely.

It's nice but too complex for my taste. I would have opted for flat colors and text

beautiful work. this is the kind of logo I actually like to look at and not just pass my eye over it. not all logos need to be oversimplified lameass corporate logos.

I think it is beautiful. Regarding the missing "Xerxes" text - if you want to find the letters in the pic you can actually discover them in the structures (that would work for almost every other nick as well though;)

Ra: you get your booyaka!
klaus: fuck dude, you gotta send me that tee because we don't have any pictures of us together from bp08.

The pixel work is the strength - when I look at the "flowlines" I get a tantalizing sense of depth, which I love.

The underlying 3d-shape, however, looks too flat. The shadows and boundaries suggest that the shape of the thing is something like a stack of quadrangles, but somehow they bend and are not creating the global sense of space I would like to see.

... in my opinion.

oooh, now I geddit: there is an ´X´there in the background.. well, perhaps a ground plane with something like a shadow could make that clearer?

prettie!!

thank you for feedback and comments everyone. much appreciated :)

@christmas ham, the movie "300" killed me. why couldn't they have made him cool instead of 8 feet tall and annoyingly gay? :)

@christ mas bite, hehe.. you make a good point. the logo is for all intents and purposes made for my website, so text directly on the logo should not be needed in my opinion. if it was to be used on a t-shirt - i think some kind of text could be needed.

@hempest, could not agree more.

Awesome. The grey kind of stands out too much in my eyes, though, maybe you should saturate it with some kind of colour to make it fit more in (in my taste, that is).
