This "logo" is more a EMOTICON that a logo.

An artificial and needless separation.

A logo just has to represent a site, and there is nothing problematic in using an emoticon for that purpose.

Yes, maybe if it wouldn't be so pixelated. The form itself isn't bad, but it would only look good in larger resolution with smooth curves.

Imho this oversized, pixelated emoticon would give the site a kind of negative look.

Why do people keep talking about enlarging the emoticon? It already has a 350x350 high resolution version. How much bigger do you really need?

There is only....one choice.

yeah....about the emoticon banner....
When someone visits the site and Sees a friggin yellow almost smiley face as the logo....they right off the bat think the site has issues....
Besides, I really don't think I could live with an emoticon as a logo, nonetheless, it has nothing to do with what ANIMEMUSICVIDEOS are all about. Ones in the past have at least had something to do with The site...last years (still up) is in Japanese style....and the year before that had a movie real....and you people now want a.........smiley face?
My god.........

And if the banner wins....there will probably be many parodies on with exploding eyes and stuff.........i guess...

So you're saying that if I open up a vector graphics editor and spend 10 minutes or so to retrace it, you're fine with it?

Well then.

I might actually make a banner this year if that one wins.

Sorry to say this but I don't really think it's fit for a logo.
I think It's too ugly for a logo, I agree with tyromaniac.
What will people think when they see that kind of logo?
It's a cheap Paint-made logo. They'll probably think the site is cheap too..
People jugde a site by logo sometimes, remember that.
And it doesn't even has the URL of a-m-v.org, so that's one reason for not voting upon it. I think the URL is needed.

Rules wrote:Logo entries may contain zero or more of the following phrases: "www.AnimeMusicVideos.org", "AnimeMusicVideos.org", "Anime Music Videos", or "AMV". Logo entries containing other words or phrases in any language will be rejected (such as "a-m-v.org").
