Lands of Classic Castle Logo Idea

Folks,
As a long time AFOL and a manuscript illuminator I finally found something to combine the two. I think if Classic-Castle is going to create "Lands of Classic-Castle", in addition to a map, it will need a logo. I humbly present the following as an offering as such.

Please let me know what you think?

I think that oks very nice. I know we can definetly use it somewhere in the process.
I especially like the way you looped the letters through each other, much like medieval calligraphy.

This is awesome. I think mencot did one as well. Maybe he'll move it over here and we can get a few more entries to choose from. Yours is terrific though!

Im loving the creativity this project is sparking, and we haven't even started yet!

Nice logos, both of you. Indeed very different styles... maybe we should have a contest like the one about the maps, but to choose the logo?

I don't see why the two entries so far need to be mutually exclusive - there is no reason why we can't find a use for them both?

Here is a quick sketch I did of my idea. It is in need of some tweaking, but I figured this was a good start:

Yea we can have a contest but my logos are just for fun not so usable, they are just to show how entuastic I am about this project.
Here is another, like I intended it to look:

mencot, that's hilarious
I love the creativity and enthusiasm in this thread!
I think we can have a logo, but I think we should consider the many different uses a logo can have and create one that suits all of them; like being suited for print as well as screen, one/few-color rendering, being added to MOCs.. and so on.
