As some of you may have noticed, we are running an ad campaign for "Underworld: Evolution". I was asked if I could also plug their on-line game as an added value to the campaign. Seeing that I would like to attract quality advertisers such as Underworld rather than a bunch of talking smiley faces, not to mention the fact that it is a very technically and visually impressive game, I'm gonna honor the request:

Go play the Underworld: Evolution on-line multiplayer game!

In other news... I just sent our new logo design to the screen printer for the next batch of shirts. Behold, the new logo! The original tank logo was illustrated by Andrew Brozyna. This new logo has been illustrated by Jeff Bandelin. We wanted to capture the essence of the original logo and not be too drastic, while at the same time beefing it up a good bit. I'm curious to hear feedback, but if you want the old logo to stay, you might as well just give up now. We all love the new one!

Hawt.

So, we'll eventually be rid of the 'Say something! What!?' adverts?

Nifty. I'm checking out the game, and the new logo looks great.

We still have a lot of stickers left, but once we run out, the next run will have the new logo. You know what this means about the current stickers, though - collectors' items!!!!

The game seems fun, though I can't quite figure it out. I'll have to try when I get back.

Collectors items, eh?

marketing ploy :O

Call me just reluctant to change, but I like the old logo much better. The guy in the new one looks kinda pudgy, and the text looks clunky.

It looks a lot like the old logo

But the text is a lot better. The pixelated text was out of date. And the new shiny bits make it look a lot better. I've put the old one below if anyone wants to compare.

Nice work ;)

The new logo looks much, much better than the previous one. In relation to this one, the previous one looks like it belonged in a cartoon.

Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but it looks seriously hawtpants.

Nah don't change the logo thats sacralidge (sp?), I'm for the old.
As for the Underworld game, I'll give it a look.

burning the midnight oil there chief?

I think I'm turning into that guy from The Machinist, and I've never even seen The Machinist.

I don't really like the new logo's guy. I can't quite place it, though. Other than that, it's better.

Better logo. The 3D bit on the end of the gun makes it look alot better.

In light of the recent events...

sweet

Those instructions for the Underworld game are too long... They should make it much shorter and to the point.

I like the new logo. But I think the changes were all subtle (except for the text), so it doesn't matter to me.

And what with the shadows and stuff all over the rest of it. Sexy.
Good to finally see a bunch of visible change coming to NG.

..its the same..

well you know, basically the same.
its still cool.

not to shabby, rather nice infact:)

The logo looks nice, although i personally am not sure about the highlighing within the tank's barrel, simply because it shouldn't be that light, but your stuck with drawing with 2 tones...

But it looks great, but you need to update the preloader now... it's still the old one :(

You havn't designed a large 3d version fo the logo yet for the side wall of your building?

Well, congrats on the logo, and Underworld is nice, except it's a little too graphicly intense for my computer :(

TOM SOLD OUT! TOM SOLD OUT! TOM SOLD OUT!

anyway, Underwold looks like a decent movie.. since it's being advertised by NG, I might go see it to get NG some more monah!

and the new logo looks better... even though it's just new text..

so, what prompted the change in logo? was it just out of date or something? i went back and forth between the old and new logos and they both look pretty similar. the barrel and treads were the most obvious chnges but even at that i had a hard time noticing the differences right away. i bet if you hadnt said anything, nobody would have noticed for a few days.

Wow, thats nice. Good update

cool, it actually looks 3d lookn. look at the original logo, then at this one and pay particulat attention to the cannon thing on the tank, the original one just looks flat

wow what a pretty loading screen. Now all they need to do is add the game

and the logo doesnt look different to me :P

The creator of these should be shot.
