I suggest you make the G and D a little squarer, more like the Doom font.

You're probably right. I was trying to go for a nod to the opengl logo with the roundedness, but it came out looking more like

Spoiler: :p

ok, last concept logo from me:

Nice, very nice. Now making the letters a little thinner and closer to each other would make it more reminiscent of Graf's avatar...and if that don't work, use more gun no worries, it's still great as it is.

wait when did this contest officially start?

Whenever Graf says that, yes, he wants a logo, and yes, he'd like to open a contest for it.

He's to serious for that.
(No offence Graf.)

However, making it very Doomish doesn't take into account the fact that it supports three other games.

Still, it's called GZDoom and not GZDoomStrifeHexenHeretic

I actually like bagheads last idea as well but there are two things with it: First it's very hard to recognize the "D", second I do not understand the color choice at all.

It's ZDoom with a G. The Z comes from Randy's wish to have his port listed at the bottom, and the Doom identifies the engine rather than the game. Zidtech1 wouldn't have sounded as good as ZDoom.

Here are a few more typographical variants that I have made here at work - less Doomish btw.


In my eyes there should be an obvious difference between the "Doom" and the "GZ" as these are also thematical connections. The "GZ" stands for "Graf Zahl", the "Doom" is the base engine, therefore these two should be visually divided. I did this by choosing two different colors and two different font types, also concentrating on the position and size of each part where the "GZ" is the more important and special thing rather the "Doom" is. For the colors, green and tan are more warm tones and next to that, the two colors give some kind of a complementary effect which looks more interesting than one tone with different brightness variants.

Though I'd like to hear something from Graf Zahl himself on these, as I am always open to improvements

Those are really good, Torm.

Another attempt, but most likely another failure:

Nice logo Morpheus . I like it a lot!

It lacks the "OOM".

The only comments Graf made in this thread were about logos needing to say GZDOOM, not GZD, and about not using his forum avatar as a base.

Okay, how about it now?

Looks nice but I'd suggest making it a bit less "effect-galore" and more graphical and "shapey" (if that's actually a word ) removing the shadow/glow and some stuff to support it's logotype.

I think that morpheus' entry looks cool (and it sorta reminds me of power rangers ), and Tormentors second entry (the paint splatter one) looks the most kick-ass, but thats mainly cuz i like graffiti...Whoa!!! Thats like a pun! Graff(Zahl)iti! I bet that this will catch on!!! But im not really shure how we will use it...

Excellent logos, Tormentor. Not very Doomish, but the overall style greatly makes up for it.

Morpheus : I like it. Cool-looking if a little cliché. The letters alone, without a shadow, would be better, I think.
