Code Four Gaming, New Logo Creation

For a while now I have been amongst/involved with "Code Four Gaming" gaming group aka "C4G" who are known for their Arma 3 "Sa-Matra Wasteland Mod" servers (you can check them out at www.codefourgaming.com).

Recently I had a dabble at creating a C4G logo... just as a test and to see if I could do something decent (see logo at bottom of page).

After showing a few C4G members what I had produced, they wanted to use the logo (or something similar) for their new logo/badge. Discussions were had, and I agreed to create a new logo to their likings, something to re-brand C4G as a whole.

After a few iterations in design and colors, the below logo was decided upon as the new logo for Code Four Gaming.

It's simple, clean, bold and red, which is what was wanted, and am glad with what I produced, and glad that it is liked and will be used.

I will also create all other graphics needed (web/teamspeak/etc) based on the logo and it's color scheme, so that a real "theme" is behind Code Four gaming, which will make the branding very hard to miss.

I'm still in the progress of creating each part of the theme, but as another example, here is the TeamSpeak banner, and below that are some custom forum badges for rank within C4G itself.

I have done graphic design in the past, and still dabble from time to time (when I'm not scripting/coding for Arma). I may not update my blog as frequent as I could, but I still work in the background doing various things. I'll try update more soon.

Below is the original logo test I did, just to see if I could still manage to put together something decent.
