    it's much better then the last, the edges look abit jagged though (but that could be jpg compression)

    It's a good start. Solid. Massage it a little.

    try taking off the lines of the inside, since i think they are useless, and maybe make the face a little bigger?

    Or maybe take the box off around the sphinx to open up the design options more. The box IMO is pretty constraining.

    Here are some other things folks have tried, might give ya some alternative directions for the actual Sphinx illustration.

    Ack, heres one that looks real close to your example ( Maybe it is your's I dunno):

    I went through a logo service when I was trying to nail something down for Game Savant and one of the options they handed me was, essentially, the Nintendo GameCube logo. Seriously. You have to watch and double check what these people do for you...

    I'm a graphic artist 15 years in business, and so is my colleague. I don't do this any more but if you want, I will put you in touch with my colleague who is still working as a designer in the advertising and film industry.

    He'll do you a logo, fast and inexpensive, and since he does this commercially, he knows what he's talking about. Examples of all kinds of printed and retail work available... pm me if you need him.

    Sorry about that alex, it's just that I personally am working full time on my own casual game, which is why I'm not advertising for work. However my colleague isn't working on any games, and he (or I) will give you our best shot.

    I really don't like what you've been put through with these people. Copying a logo like that just isn't on.
