You're asking people to do logo design for free. Typically logos are designed by paid graphic designers. While Shenske and the others may be able to handle it, I don't think it's fair to expect or even ask them to do this for free.

I used to know of a couple of folks who did logos for free, a couple more that did paid ones. Unfortunately what they specialize in isn't really what you'd be after I think.

If I can quote the joker on this, "If you're good at something you don't do it for free."

That holds firm in my line of work where that's exactly what I do get paid to make logos and drafts.
That's not to say we can't help with suggestions :D.

I say go for a logo with no background, it won't transfer well if you want to use it every where (i.e. Inserting it in videos, t-shirts, hats etc etc.)

pick a good color scheme. And use about 3-5 colors max and don't use none of that blur shit or crazy fx

that's all for now 8) hope that helps

Why not ask folks for rates? Prices may be more reasonable and affordable than you think.

I'd totally help as I need practice for my 2D design portfolio, but I'm swamped as is. I don't exactly have the skills to throw anything together in less than an hour or 20...yet. I actually think the first two logos are pretty good, though I would definitely take into account irvgotti452's advice as well.
