Sure, but I'm gonna need those fonts though, I cant recognize them by myself. So I'm gonna ask, RolfTheUber: Names of those fonts?

Sorry, but I don't know. All I did was take the mock-up Blue Emerald posted on page 2, swap the shiny logo for the matte one, and change the font used for "Mobius Engine" to make the M's and the N's less pointy in Paint.NET. I really can't be more helpful than that.

The two fonts I used were Motor Oil 1937 M54 (the one Rolf made less pointy) and Mouse Deco (for the "Sonic Retro Community Engine" part). Got 'em both off Dafont. =P

Oh right, it was first posted by Blue Emerald, my bad !

Anyways, whoever can recognize those or Blue Emerald, feel free to point out these names so I can get a nice mockup of the logo and fonts in vectorial form done. I cant read.

Right above you.

Well, this is my final take of it I guess:



It has 2 Colour-Variations (For the logo itself) and 2 text variations, the one made by Blue Emerald and one I did myself. It works both in black and white backgrounds, and its all organized on folders in its PSD.

Personally, the one I most like is the Blue Logo with ZigZag-text on Black BG, since it feels so Sonic but I guess all the other variations are ok to use.
Feel free to grab the psd (It uses vector masks so don't worry too much about scaling and stuff) here.

Also, the logo has a Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Creative Commons License so yeah~~

I personally prefer the last row, black or white doesn't really matter to me, both look awesome.

Same for me. I think the plain blue one is too... simple? I dunno. But I like the zig zag ones anyway.

Third one down, black background. That's the one I like.

Last row. But I think you should have both black and white background variants just in case.

That's why I made both black and white backgrounds. Each logo is used as its needed, its a pretty common practice when making logos unless the logo has some kind of forced background.

The white/dark gray letters will be used depending on the background its used on.

Any chance of removing the top zig-zag line from fourth row? That's the only thing holding me back from preferring it. Although I'm wary of turning this into a classic Sonic Retro bikeshed clusterfuck - if general consensus is that the fourth row is good, then it's good.

Well, the license I used allows to modify the logo pretty much as you wish as long it is for non-commercial usage. It's all up to Gen right now.

Though I must say that if we remove the top zig-zag it would just lose the "ribbon" feel that the text has on that layout and the word "The" would be kinda floaty.

[Blue Emerald]

Hmmm.... I prefer the bottom left one; it smacks of classic mid-'90s Sonic, and I like that.

[RolfTheUber]

I prefer the one on the bottom right. I'm not entirely sold on the "the" before "mobius engine" in the logo, though, especially when it's placed on top.

[DalekSam]

Third row, right. Something about those wavy lines and the way the text is ordered on the fourth row I just can't stand.

[dsrb]

I'm all over the wavy lines, if only that “THE” can be enlarged to fill that gap in the upper left corner.

Edit: Including resizing the other words if necessary. Why aren't “MOBIUS” and “ENGINE” just the same size, anyway? If anything, it should be the opposite and the former should be larger, but I don't know if any disparity between the two is necessary. Perhaps “THE” should be smaller in any case, though.
