Mencot - I love that illustration! great work.

Here is an update to my idea, the map is the one I submitted, butt hat is only because it is the one I have handy. Any map chosen can be placed there:

Wow, these are really fun ideas. I love the calligraphy of the first one, the two battling figures in Mencot's and the idea of the map in the background from Shmails. All are terrific concepts! It's cool to see how artistic some of the people on this forum are!

What'd make "the perfect logo" to me: Combine the three! :lol:

Yeah if there was a way to combine the calligraphy with the two battling figures with the logo and map in the background, that would be epic.

Oh yes I will just get out my wand and a few potions and have something whipped up in a smidge! :lol: After tonight I will be away from my computer for at least three or four days (renovating a house is a real pain!), but I can sketch something up and jump on it when i get back. The calligraphy may be tough to combine with the map, but I can give it a shot! 8)

You asked for it, you got it! Here is my interpretation of a combination of all three logos suggested so far:

Larger version here:

I can add shadows and more detail to the figs, I just wanted to get some feedback before I proceed. The "LCC" in the center shield was simplified to make it more readable, if you want something closer to the original (with the heads and curly details) I can do that, it will just take a while to get right. I will also redo the map once it has been finalized.

Let me know what you think, thanks!

Whoa that is perfect :D I knew we can count on you shmails 8)
The figs:Yea so shadows and more details on the figs but not so much (so that they are still a bit similiar to the mine :D)
The LCC in center: thats good, some thing could be added but I like that so far
Maybe put an additional banner under it all with the text I had: "A LEGO BASED MOC FANTASY" or something else that would work

Dude! :woo:
That. Is. AWESOME! I think it's perfect just how it is. I don't really think we need to add another banner under it explaining what LCC is, for what my opinion is worth ;)

The second banner wasn't ment to be an explanation, more like a cool announcement :D
But of ofcourse the logo is total awsome already :p
