Okay so how do I move from this -

To something more professional looking?

What do you guys recommend. I want something official looking, something I can put at the top of a paper.

Actually, I'd say that looks great as is. However I have little insight on this kinda stuff so maybe others will be able to tell you something useful.

Again, this is something I would expect off of a professional something!

But according to a recent pole on our facebook page people want us to change our logo, so the people have spoken.

Quote: "I think you should really consider hiring someone to do this. To be honest there a a great deal of issues with the logo from a designer point of view. What is the purpose, what identity does it portray? Remember that a logo is the forefront a companies identity and needs to reflect upon it. I know there are many graphic designers, logo designers, illustrators, etc. on this forum, including myself. I highly recommend you try to source one of them for this. I also know a great deal of students who are looking for portfolio work and also show some real talent. So if money is an issue that is a great route to take. These are my five cents.
"

I just posted this in Old_School's logo as well, but for the most part it applies here as well. If you want to run a serious business, you need a serious over hall and need some branding by a professional. My main arguments towards your current/things to fix: vector vector vector, logos are your most versatile identity, don't limit it to a computer monitor. Make it vector, not raster. In addition, think of the purpose of the logo. How does it identify with your company? Lastly, consider the font choice, it is difficult to read, for your main copy should always stick to traditional fonts, not decorative. These are some basic designing rules which your logo could benefit from.

RDN or the Grammar Police? Woot Woot lol (thumbs up if you know the theme tune lol)

I agree with Design Runner keep it Vector like mine for example...

If you look at any other major companies... Microsoft... EA... Ellpa... Activision... All flat all simple single colours...

My few cents there...

And this logo... More for an end product... Reminds me of Castlevania

Did you make it yourself? If so... Nice work buddy

However for a splash screen it should be fine...

Just need a more basic one for paper...

Now see. I like the advice you are all giving me but i'm still not sure what it should look like.

Just look at TGCs logo, its nice looking, it can go on top of a paper.

Now look at my logo. Its nice looking, it blends in with paper...

Just basically what should I make it look like to make it look alot better?

Maybe take just the CP in the fancy font, and add some kind of surrounding that resonates carnage?

I agree with Design Runner. I think it looks nice but there's no form to it, it doesn't look like a logo. I think it would be neat to add a symbol that represents your company; maybe a fleur-de-lis, lion, dragon or something. And definitely use vectors (Inkscape is a great free program). The font might be copyrighted, have you checked that?

Shh... you're pretty.
