And i think we should keep it orange and white.

I like your logo but like i said before i just prefer the simplistic look for the top logo. I'm sure it could be used somewhere though :)
EVERY cover site has orange or red and their color and even though we had the color first it might be good to set ourselves apart from them. I like the orange too but i don't want to be confused with the "other sites"
Ultimately none of these are my decisions as it is Snowcone's site.
I am just very passionate about how the site looks. Partly because i've been here so long and this site is just kind of ingrained into my soul now.

I think we should keep white though, blue can be nice.
I'm making a mock up idea.

I agree with you there is just too much going on with his logo I just dont feel as it would fit much like my Idea would not fit either I just said it for a chuckle a Game cartridge in a Blanket, very Punny yes! Oh tag line to go with it Cover your Games!!! but something simple would Work Best I agree with that

Larry's logo is pretty busy, but it's cool. It has a very custom look. Maybe it would work well in the 'custom cover' section, if you should make such a place (would be nice to have a custom cover dump for each game title to search through as opposed to going through page after page of 100+ page forum threads just to find a single title).
Maybe the custom covers could be organized by Game title and by author so if you click, Casltevania4/SNES for example, you see every cover made for it that was not approved by the site admins for meeting TCP criteria. Likewise it would be cool to have the option to search for custom covers by author, so that if you realized you were a fan of the work by Segamer, Autobot, Larryinc64, or Wiggy, you could click that author and find all of the covers made by that person in one place (organize their customs alphabetically and by system?). It would be easier then searching for their name in the forums, and then going through page after page of their thread to see all of their covers.
Perhaps you could incorporate a user rating system for custom covers also which would make some of the best customs easier to find?

Yeah, my logo is a bit busy for the main attraction, but I still think the plain text is kinda boring, It needs a extra something. Maybe hide mine in the BG or something.
This preview is a little bit sloppy, Gradients, Drop shadows, and Bevels everywhere. But I think the brighter color scheme is a bit more inviting. I added Blue, Oranges complement, to help bring out some more color. I also thought as I was making it to have the grids dividing everything look like shelves.
This is more of a idea and needs more tweaks, but I kinda like where it is heading.
I like the font, Futra MdCn something, same font used on old GB boxes.
