Yeah, so, I got bored today and was staring at the QT3 logo, and it looked like it could use some…how you would say…renovations? A little remodeling…some touching up here and there…
Here’s the results. Any thoughts? Should I crawl back to from whence I came, because the logo’s fine as is?
Very sleek, Mach5!
However, it’s not bloodshot enough. Also, you took out the little corners of Joe’s eyeball. He wouldn’t be too happy about that. :)
-TomWell, I was wavering on whether or not to add those. I just thought it was too much clutter in a newer, sleeker, design.
By the way, Tom, any chance you could make sure Joe doesn’t hunt me down and butcher me for doing the same to his logo? ;)

Hmm… stock in Machfive rose 2 points on icon news. Shall I buy and hope it rises further?
Anyway…
Despite Machfive’s noble attempt, the traditional Qt3 icon looks like an eye. Machfive’s icon looks like a clock.
Eye > Clock
No, no…it’s got to be EDGY! Uzis. Blood. Skulls. Berets.
Maybe I should put a spider in there too, seeing as ya’ll are scared of 'em.
I like Sparky’s bestest.
Well, it needs spiders. And robots. And nekkid women. And maybe a severed arm.
And maybe a doe-eyed anime adolescent holding a big “sword”.
The Beret totally makes it.
I’m siding with Sparky here too.
Should I bother throwing the “eye” portions in, or just leave it on my hard drive as another failed graphics project? ;)
Thanks man. You ALMOST made me think the last few years I’ve devoted to this area of my life hasn’t been wasted.
Almost. ;)
I need to work an elf, a Tie Fighter, a packing crate, and a dead Nazi in there somewhere. The skulls need to have glowing red eyes. Also, the clock “hands” should be a Snidely Whiplash-type mustache, to go with the beret.
[size=2]You know what’s really scary? That texture is an actual photo of my husband’s eyeball. He needs to get more sleep.[/size]
I was debating going that route, but I ended up just scratching it. So much faster than actually trying to procure a digital camera, or hunt down a good eye pic.
Don’t forget the Royal Tenenbaums reference.
And a Fuck Star Wars easter egg.
Holy cow, I can’t believe I forgot the Tenenbaums!

Is it just me, or does it look like that logo is missing a German cross? That has to be the Nazi-est font I’ve ever seen.
I think the logo should change daily, kinda like the Bluesnews logo. Possible logo motifs could be Tribute to Spandex, Coffee and Truckers, Alcohol Served with Lemons, Robin Williams’ Hair, Stolen Office Supplies and Things on Fire.
By the way, looking at the normal logo now - where do you find a Q with a tail that long?
Actually, it’s far from Nazi. Fraktur typestyles were used in German printing up until 1941, when their usage was banned by the Nazis for looking “too Jewish”. But it does look pretty darn German to us, although of course, German != Nazi.
Sparky, if you added angel wings to the side of the bereted Bloodshot Joe, we could probably start up some cool rumors among the excitable Ralph Records fanbase that Tom Chick is the fifth Resident.
