The subtitle isn't easy to read, at least the first time.
Despite that, it's cool :)

I can't read that. And the colours are ugly. It's not good...

I'm sorry I can't read that either. It's not at all clear.

It should be clearer and colors should be in harmony, anyway not so bad.

Also the gaps between letters aren't the same which looks kind of funny...

I like the font, and I like the idea, but it doesn't work, too many bevels. bevils? bevielios?

I can't read the bottom at all.

Yes, way too crowded. A logo should be extremely simple and distinctive. Here's my logo for Gaping Wolf Software:

http://www.gapingwolf.com/gif/gws.gif

That's about as simple as you can get. Also be consistant. I always accompany that logo with white text which reads "Gaping Wolf Software" in a particular font.

And here are a few sites on designing logos: (Nothing in particular, I just punched "logo design tips" into Google and these are the first few solid hits I received)

Think of a logo as an abstract symbol that represents you or your company. So, you want it to be easy to read (ie: as simple as possible, using as few lines/shapes as possible), as clear as possible, and as unique looking as you can.

Don't you ever update? :o This isn't MSIE - they actually work on the thing.

Regarding the logo: I don't like it. It's too involved, and "3D" fonts generally don't work on logos.

I should update, but I updated twice before in the space of a month and lost my settings each time. I thought I'd wait until the bugs in 1.0 were ironed out..

I agree, you need High Contrast for your logo, just take a look to nintendo, capcom, micro$oft logos.
But Jack Games, sounds good! :D

And a gradient between yellow and blue is not a great idea, because you get grey in the middle. Gradients look good with colors that share some component (like cian -> yellow: both have green component).

It looks like something 3D in glass or plastic. And once I get that idea, it doesn't look realistic enough. You should use povray or jafray.

Prolly a reference to 'New Jack City'.

I think New Jack Games sounds better, rolls off the tongue easier.

DanielH: you're avatar looks like McGuiver.

I'm going to have to chime in with the people saying it's way too crowded, unreadable, and over-fancy. Make it clean and simple, and don't abuse so many colors (whoever decided to put a yellow-to-blue gradient in there should be shot).
