if you're gonna do it in titling then keep them all small caps, 'capitalising' in uppercase tends not to look good

That's the way that font does capital letters, let me get those out of the way.
yeah... because it's a titling font. trajan if i'm not mistaken
i'm just saying if that if you're going to pick a titling font, don't capitalise :P

It's Optimus Princeps.
optimus princeps is just a straight rip of trajan though :P
only difference is where trajan keeps it a uniform case, optimus princeps enlarges the capital letter

Doesn't the option of having enlarged caps make princeps better than trajan then?
if so, why isn't princeps more famous than trajan?
you can easily increase the size of the letter...
and generally it doesn't look good. which is why optimus is a rip off, and trajan is a classic

Yeah, Trajan is a classic, but I wasn't sure if it was Free to use so i chose Optimus.
Why don't you put the zerg or protoss insignia on the Wine label?
Also what the fuck kind of name is Wine Starcraft? Couldn't they just call it Winecraft or something?
Here's a logo I submitted on a site called LogoBids for some med company.

The bid is still open and you can upload as many as you like, so in the eyes of people far more advanced at this than me, how could I make this better? They want an all text logo with those colors and that's all I could come up with.
Did they specifically ask for that shade of green and that shade of blue/purple?
I did this for a friend who wanted a design to sell shirts to donate for Japan.

I think you should have a 'cleaner' colour scheme, given that it's a pharmaceutical company. Perhaps dark grey and blue?
The 'NEXT' font is a bit tacky too, it looks like it's meant to be one of those futuristic sci fi space fonts
what is the... 'essence' of a pharmaceutical company?
modern? clean? medical? your logo doesn't reflect anything about the company or what it does, nor does it really mean anything at all.
the colours are... pretty bad. the murky green isn't really suitable at all. the blue could be quite nice as it's quite a medical colour anyway, my suggestion would be pairing it with a nice pale grey. the font is also pretty bad, the Pharmaceuticals looks alright (nice and simple and sans), but it looks like you've stretched it, which is never good. and the NEXT type is not good, it's really extended when it doesn't need to be and the N looks completely disjointed from EXT.
i like the idea of the little bar with the white text on it, looks quite clean and medical, but i don't know what the two little shapes on the end of that bar are. if they don't mean anything then get rid of them, it's just unnecessary clutter.
hope this helps!
Can't do anything about the colors, but agreed the font doesn't work. I just have no idea what it is they even want.

Then they say they arne't a pharmaceutical company but a dietary one :v:. Doesn't seem like many people can get it right either since there's only been a handful of entries when most other bids get hundreds.
I'm probably just going to make the text closer and change the font, then forget about it and go onto something better.

nothing wrong with that! it creates a really good effect here actually

yeah there is and it only looks acceptable because of the texture overlay

It's only unacceptable to people who know what Live Trace is. To an average person, they think it's artistically unique. For his target audience, it's fine.

Neato! Looks great.
Going over the things so far, we really like the very first "banner" thing that was made. We figured we could basically cut off the legs and have their torsos.
Still, I like that one too. The only thing would be shape of the hat should be like it is on the right side. Both sides.
Other then that, very good.
Also, do you guys provide PSD files with your logos if I accept them? Since I am quite capable of tinkering with it on my own afterwards and having that would make it easier.

I've done the banner thing in illustrator but I could separate it out into photoshop layers if you do decide to use it
