    Would of liked to have spent more time on coming up with some ideas, but doesn't look likely so thought id share my 10minutes anyway[Blocked Image: http://www.joeangus.com/images/core.png]

    I like the top left one but here are my "imo" crits:

    More strict font (not as much curves, looks goofy), more of the current color scheme, slightly less shiny cube.

    Must admit, my biggest hate is font selection - so I just picked the first one I thought looked OK just to portray the concept :)

    Add the widget to the top left one and I think you have a winner.

    I'll spent some more time after work tonight, do a few variations on the blue one

    Yeah I do like the top left one, makes a good contender to go up against the previous mighty effort.

    I'm not sure whether or not I'm completely digging the blue, looks a bit too bright and saturated. A more geometric typeface would also be more appropriate too IMO.

    Got an example font or two so I can see how you mean Thrik?

    I'll do a few colour variations

    I probably wouldn't go with the examples in question as they're the most obvious/clichéd examples I can think of, but I just mean something that's got more defined corners and is more Bauhaus in style rather than having rounded edges — the current logo is a fairly obvious example of this, but also things like Myriad Pro, Tahoma, etc. Just something less bubbly. :derp:

    Errrr, font and colour test... let me know if anyone likes any of them more more then the rest.

    I'll do some other versions of the cube with the knockout if I get a chance,

    Bottom right is splendid. Has to be blue IMO and that tone is perfect. The font also looks good not being so chunky.

    allthough these designs are really tight, my heart is still on page 10...

    maybe im asking too much but since i dont have your skills, maybe you could revamp knj's cubes? and im all for keeping the current font (but stylized maybe).

    I thought you didn't like the blue Thrik? I liked the bottom right font too so that's good!

    If I get the chance ill try and do a KNJ's style cube within my concept killertomato

    top right font rocks, not so sure about the design

    It should be a 'clean' font without any scratches, stamp edges, etc imho

    Bottom right is nice but without the distance between letters/core.

    I love the current logo so I decided to just make my own rendition.

    Still not sold on the font's color, I'll iterate more on this later.
