One of the Google links was this: I still have that machine. Great machine. That page said: Jest to kolejny nabytek z Allegro. Wonder what that means. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Years of thorough research have revealed that what people find beautiful about the Mandelbrot set is not the set itself, but all the rest. |

It translates to "There is next acquisition with (from) Allegro." according to http://www.poltran.com/

It means "one more thing i bought from allegro" (according to my girlfriend. Allegro.pl is a polish ~ebay btw)

spellcaster, Kibiz0r, and Derezo all have awesome candidates (minus the 8-ball one; that just doesn't seem right {"name":"d0dec831d040f4c090a5b3a1abe1aa4b.jpg","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/9\/e\/9ebecbe544d2a30572fb4749246de5f0.jpg","w":452,"h":196,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/9\/e\/9ebecbe544d2a30572fb4749246de5f0"} All look very nice. I can't decide so I'm going to say 'all of them'. The powered by version obviously works well as a graphic to display at the beginning of our games. -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

I think spellcasters is very nice, though a bit cliché (not that i can come up with anything better). I think I would go for the first Allegro-with-a-green-box. Clean usable anywhere.

I like the one that says "Powered by".

Towards the bottom of the logo you can see the color of the 'rays' I'll call them darkens and then suddenly lightens again. I relate the blue lines to light, which is illogical to suddenly darken and lighten again. The image gives the illusion of 'nothing' behind the logo so why is nothing absorbing light? http://allegro.cc/files/attachment/592426 Personally I think it's a nice logo, but that feature stood out to me right away. It doesn't look natural. In fact, the way the blue lines spread out from the center doesn't really look natural either. It's much better than I could do, but I would say it's unpolished.

I agree. That's probably my favorite one, but it's not really a logo for Allegro. It works great for putting in our games, but for the actual library it doesn't work. If you put that on Allegro it would seem to imply that Allegro is powered by Allegro... -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

That's the shadow of the characters Quote: In fact, the way the blue lines spread out from the center doesn't really look natural either. Hm.. I took the text, converted from rectangular to polar coordinates, applied a motion blur in both directions and converted back. So I guess the lines should be more or less correct. But I agree it's a bit over the top for a logo -- |

The light appears to be coming from behind the characters... So the shadow looks like it should be on the lens of the camera. That's my personal opinion. -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

Allegro isn't a physics library; why should the logo have to abide by the laws of light? -- Ryan Patterson - <http://cgamesplay.com/> |

If you can do better why don't you remake it? |

Calm down - he has a point. The idea of a challenge is to get feedback. And "then do it better" is not a good argument But creating an allegro logo isn't easy, esp. not for me, since I'm a bit challenged when it comes to graphics. And it doesn't help that the lib is called "Allegro" and not "Awesome Space Monkey Ninja Game Coding Lib." -- |

Did you get After Effects with the bundle you got? You should make a video. -- |
