A1 Is my favorite. It looks well balanced and I like the thickness of both the letters and the underline. I really like how the spade forms the circular cutout in the line though I'm not 100% sure I would break the line. I'd have to see it to know for sure how it would look best.
Aaran Casey makes a good point about the red spade. I'd like to see a cleaned up version with red lettering for POKER and a black spade but I really do like the coloring better this way (however inaccurate to real playing cards it is). What if you changed the spade to a heart? That way, you can keep the coloring.
Although Poker seems straight forward enough to depict since it's so widely known, I think the challenge resides in taking the creative path that is most literal. That's what ultimately can make this logo forgettable.
I think the correction of the red Spade to black is a step in the right direction, there now can be further exploration with placing the Spade within the letter "O" (black O, spade cutout).
Cards and chips are so literal and it's visual overload. With this concept, fan the cards with the chips in their center, place the "plus" below. Does "Poker Plus" have to be written on the line?
I think there is room for at least 4-5 more strong concepts just in draft sketches to find the noticeable visual.
well I will try that idea with the spade inside of the O, but I did made a test and didn't liked it.
I am a beginner in this field "logo design", I tried some variations and this is what I came up with. I still have a lot to learn. And realy the name doesn't help a lot for creativity. All I could think of is already on the web and even the A version I did is very similar to poker stars. So if you have some ideas I would appreciate it.
thanks Kai.

I like the A's better but none are that fantastic! I would probably make the poker red, with a black spade (as this is the correct color) show the K and the plus black...
see below I did my version, hope you don't mind!
thanks, Aaran, I will do that. It's funny because I didn't realize I did that :D, with the spade in read when it should be black.
Hi Ionut,
I much prefer A 1 by a long way. The option B are all too busy and cheap looking. Poker has a slightly affluent sophisticated edge to it - option B looks more like something you'd have for Bingo.
However, as Aaran says I would change the colours around so the spade is black, poker is in red and plus is in black. But I'd keep your bold font whereas Aaran's rough mock up is in a lighter weight font. Given that the spade is obviously quite blocky by the nature of it's shape, you need a similarly heavy weight font to keep the visual balance throughout the logo
A1 is the best among the batch but I would have the spade inside an 'O'. Currently it results to at least half a second of confusion as the mind struggles to convert the spade into an A then O.
the bar on the bottom is too thick to my taste. Either make it thinner or thicker to put a white colored tagline in it. Or maybe just put the bar under Plus only.
You could try have a different but still harmonious font face for the 'Plus' but might make the logo too busy.
and Yes, the spade should be black.
Hi, This concept has gone pretty far hasnt it!
Here is an idea that i dont think has been brough up before.
I like the simplicity that A1 brings, But the only reason that i like B2 better is because A1's symbol.
Perhaps you could change it from a spade into a more circular shape that goes on cards?
Just an IDEE'er
yeah, I have to finish this :). So you are saying I should try a different symbol ? Like what ...
Hey Ionut, A1 is far the best but as Aaran said, you might use the real spade! :) (the black one)! But I really think that A1 is the best!
The others look also nice but this one stands out from the rest!!!
yeah I will consider the heart but I think my friend(the client) wouldn't like that. Thanks Jon.
