    Thanks guys! I'm glad you like it. It's not mine per-se since its just an evolution of everyone else's work

    I'll try to make a couple modifications so some of the points outlined above are met.

    The typeface in particular is just a placeholder, I haven't really found the typeface that matches the angles on the logo, but that's just a matter of time.

    Thanks again guys, I'm really glad ya'll dig it

    i am still not 100% on the shield look, even when adding some definition to the inside it is still very shield-y.

    i think a little perspective would give it something, but then again, maybe it's a positive thing to have it possibly misinterperable?

    That was my thinking Rick, sometimes a little ambiguity can be nice in a logo. Often logos aren't 100% clear when you look at them initially — it's only after a little thought you realise what they mean and go "Oh :-D". I do like the fact it's not blatantly a cube and is a bit more like an insignia, but I'm not necessarily settled on it.

    With that said, making it so ambiguous people just assume it's a shield isn't good. I think experimenting with the angle or trying some kind of shading on the inner faces would be a great thing to try.

    besides, i was obviously talking about the design.

    Looks great but I agree with Rick and Thrik, angling it slightly off or changing the shading around the core would definitely make it easier to read. I think 90% of people will see a shield with the current design.

    Also the lack of tilde is completely unacceptable!

    just make lines from every vertex of the open part of the cube hitting the shield's tips. problem fucking solved.

    Now if you could break the illusion that it's shield at first glance, by adding something that implies depth, then we're good.

    I can't see a shield in there at all at first glance, I see a cube.

    because you already have the connection between mapcore and the cube, to someone else it might not be instantly apparent

    I like it, but I also see the problem of the "shield silhouette". I believe this is caused because the shape could resemble that of a cube better. I squeezed the cube a little, but the sides of the shape still need to be more..."straight"! The sides need to be square don't you think? I hope you get what I mean

    Wow, loving the evolution going on here. I've tried a version of to the side of the cube, I think it breaks the shield look quite well.

    That it does, looks sweet. Although I think the smaller, darker core of the earlier cube looks better.

    Yeah, I agree. Didn't realise how much I'd changed it while working on it. Updated my post with a smaller darker core version.
