First off, I dont like the first one. Its pixely, the gloss looks really fake, and the font isnt that great either.

Definately pick 1 or 2.

I really like two though, It really adds to overall feel of the logo, I just dont know how it will come out in print.

I think you should definately keep that one in mind.

2. The Symbol replacing the O is REALLY big. and to me looks just out of place.

3 wins for me :)

I totally rhymed that on purpose.

1. You best is the middle. It is clear, bold, string. Orientation is nice. The use of spade behind P and in front of K provides depth. Nice.

   The first? Stroke way to fat and thus providing the appearance of saturation. The reflective glow may not translate as well (at a smaller size). Be interested to see a stacked treatment. Poker/Plus

   The third is too literal for me. Secondly, it will not translate as well at smaller sizes

Hi Ionut, I like the changes you have made from your previous concept. Here is what i think of each one:

(1) It looks very amateurish, the text having a background color makes it harder for viewers of this logo to read and it won't be able to cross over cleanly on different forms of media like the other two.

(2) I like this design. It is clean, clear and has cross over appeal unlike #1. My problems with it are that poker and plus should be spaced out a little more and, like Luke mentioned, the red spade should be the same height as the rest of the text.

(3) This is by far the best and most unique design out of the three. It has all the good qualities of #2 and more.

I like the 1st idea. But the font border is a little too dark.

Idea number 2 is just too bland.

I like the start of number 3, but perhaps it would look better with all the letters on cards, and the cards should be fanned as on a table.

Which ever idea chosen, I feel the font would look far better with a felt-green backing (as if looking at a poker table).

They work, they are all just so standard. Part of the problem I think is the font choice. Alte Hans Grotesk/ Garamond? are both very very very very common fonts. This simply makes them a bit boring for me. Filling in the spaces in the outlines on the first logo gives it a strange overall shape. Also, I would not apply a fat outline to a thin serif font.

The imagery of the chips in the bottom one, while proper proportions compared with the card, seem a bit small when compared with the logo itself.

Also, when displaying the logos, consider placing each logo in a separate file.... so that they do not "muddy the palette" as it were. Placing them all on the same page is like going to a restaurant, and they bring your dessert and entre at the same time.

The second one is probably the strongest, but again, there is nothing exciting about it at all. The colors, while thematic, are also very "meh".

The bottom one is definitely the most clevar, and I would be inclined to recommend you flush (pun intended) it out a bit more. 5 cards, and 5 letters int he word poker is a great association for you to make as a designer. So great job on that.
