    we are looking for a pro looking logo and symbol\emblem to represent us.

    were past the party band stage and starting to get serious, shows will be coming soon.

    but our logo is amatureish and a little on the childish side. we need metal!

    open to anything really, but one idea i had was the text "Empire Down" in a font simular to trajen pro, with some sort of coat of arms centered behind it. not too big.
    maybe a little dark looking but not evil..


    thats just an idea i had though, but i just play guitar, you guys are the experts.
    I dont have alot to offer for the job, but will credit you with the design, and ill get you a burned disk if you like, maybe a t shirt when we get some printed up.
    thanks if you choose to help us out!!

    the logo will be used for our website, t shirts, cd cases, hats, will need to be color (black, red, blue whatever you think) but also a B&W for promo fliers.
    lol just about anything.

    3 logo designs we like, hmm.. Im sorry I dont know, maybe the kain and raziel logos from the game legacy of kain lol, just because they are edgy, tribal and dark.
    coat of arms are cool, maybe a dark one with skeletal wings coming out? heh
    what were not looking for is the illegible black metal logos, we want stlye that screams metal..
    maybe melodic with a touch of death, elegant but not too nice..
    hell I dont know, im rambling!

    also if this is the wrong forum to post in I apologize, I dont have a logo needs modified, i need a logo.
    thanks!

    Sounds good to me. I look at doing something if you take a look around the forum and try to add something here also. Maybe give us an idea of how to get rolling in the world of music post in the General Chat Forum or look at the review section. This may take a few days so I'll give it a go if you do.

    Hmmm, I like the sound of free stuff xD

    I'm going on holiday today but If mah new laptop arrives before I leave I can take a stab at it while I'm away. Sounds like a fun request and no doubt I'll be bored as hell over the next two weeks.


    What kind of metal are you btw? We get quite a few screamo/emo/death metal requests and it makes me a sadpanda :( Needs more Nu/Melodic/Classic metal.

    ok ill check the forums out, see how i can contribute :)

    we are all older, so not big into the new metal, but were kinda a cross between oldschool thrash and death i guess.. very melodic, and we use clean vocals as much as we use death growls haha

    take a listen!

    thanks guys

    I lent my one ear this morning and it told me, according to my tastes, if the vocals were just leaning more towards the Old Heavy Metal side you would really be jetting up in the charts being you are an Older Group. Just my older ear and brains opinion. I've never been into the thrash and death sound. Seems it is limiting your sound and growth potential.
    Again just my taste in music. Everyone plays and/or listens to what they like.
    Respectfully...
    A listener with only one good ear.

    Yeah, everyones tastes differ. our vocalis is actually about 10 years younger than us too. thanks for taking a listen!
    we have videos too that scroll the lyrics as he says them, some really cool stories!

    were not looking to be huge, we just want to play what we enjoy, and play local shows..

    if anything bigger comes of it, awesome! if not were happy just the same.
    :D

    I think later today I should have something for you to look at.
    Maybe by then someone else will have something also.

    Could not find a font similar to trajen pro.

    Tried to find the logos but I don't play that game. To many cartoons of the game to look at and not sure what the logos are.

    So I looked around at different bands for some inspiration like
    Slayer - Kain - Pantera and others and came up with this.
    Blends in well with your site. Should work with everything else.

    Thanks for the kind words.
    I've been thinking there is something lacking.
    Here are the words give it a try.
    I'm getting tired so time to log off.

    A nights sleep fighting sinus trouble, but at least the mind is clearer.
    Adjusted the name to make it standout more. Just can't seem to get that "outline in a fire coloring gradient" you suggested 1970Forest.
