Need Some Ideas on the Lion Logo

[Smoke]

How's this? Nothing fancy, seeing as I'm art challenged. It needs to be adjusted, I would do it, but my computer has "quality issues" when it comes to resizing and adjusting. If I do it, it'll look like crap, all pixilated. If someone can re-adjust it, I'll dump the bigger pic for the smaller one.

the problem i have with that logo is the lions head looks really weird the way you cut/pasted it. also, the hexagons are turned the wrong way

I think Hexis's would look bad if you rotated it. Right now the lions are symmetrical, but if you rotated it, they'd be kinda off. Looks better like it is.

[Hexis]

I'll make the lions look right. They are just a layer in the source.

Actually, that's the original position of the lion's head. I would have liked to emboss it or someting cool, but my program dosen't have anything cool like that. I'll rotate the hexes a bit. I was up till 3 working on it, so I must have accidently turned the hexes the wrong way.

Alright, how's this version? I'd still like to do someting different with the lion head though.....

My 2 cents:
I am a big fan of CaPoEiRa's (its kinda what I pictued in my head when i read Tom's proposal)
I also like Hexes it cool and new
I never had a problem with the old one though. It has always been a symbol of quality to me.
Another idea is to use the old banner somewhere I kinda like it.

I liked Hexis' design...

Capoiera's was cool too though...

but I'd say, stick with the original, or Hexis'.


Either way...I'm liking it!

ok I'm torn...I started to post this and gave it some thought... now I really don't know how i feel...but i left everything i started to write, basically I managed to see both sides of the arguement...im so indecisive:

i think it might be cool to update it...maybe make it a little more catchy for the eyes...i like hexis's a lot (except that the hexes should be rotated...as already mentioned)
i like Cap's first one, with that slick font
with one minor change
instead of the lions on each side
why not slide the word "Designs" over a little and put a larger lion head(like the one inside the hexes from hexis's design) in the middle, between all the hexes...either that or lose the lion altogether for that logo

my only critique of hexis's design is that one of the complaints of the original was that you couldnt see the details very well, i think that one would have the same problem...it looks really cool...though...maybe the laser engraving idea would be cool... but it's not good for websites

i think you should keep your original logo around also though...
think car company logos...blue oval...bowtie...ram...
these are things that you just don't change...
no matter how 'unhip' it is...
it has become a part of agd heritage...you can't just forget about your roots
it's like the difference between classic rock and pop...
you're either going to be the rolling stones or nsync...
who's been around longer? who will probably be around longer? (ok i ran out of cliches )

I like Festus' it rocks.

Here is a base for someone if they want to build on it...

I have a couple ideas for it:

1) in each hexagon put a pic of each AGD gun, so it goes Automag, Minimag, RT PRO, RT, E-mag, X-mag, (6) and lion in middle

2) just lion in middle

3) have paint splats on it

4) (my favorite) have a picture of a lion shooting at you in the middle. I mean "At you" by like a down-the-barrel point of view, so the end of the barrel is like in your face, and it can be like an X-mag that the lion is shooting.

I gotta go to bed cuz i have school tomorrow, so maybe I'll follow up on one of these ideas.
