Seeking a logo for Obviously Marvelous Games

[MCMic]

Hi everyone!

The brand new gamedev team "Obviously Marvelous Games" represents the guys that worked on Genetic Invasion with me. ( http://projects.haxx.es/p/genetic-invasion/ )
We have some other projects on track and would like to open a website for the team.
In order to connect our games with the team we'd like to have a Logo.

We did some research and have a pretty good idea of what we want our Logo to look like :

png render of the svg logo sketch

This is a svg sketch, we also have an ugly Blender version attached to this post.

What we need now is a pretty 3D version in Blender format, allowing us to render and animations.

Would someone around being able to do that for us? We'd be really grateful.
(Of course, we need it under a free license)
And no need to say if an artist would feel like joining the team, he'd be welcome and have a lot of work to do on our games (Genetic Invasion needs a lifting) !

Oh, and if someone feel like it, a pixel art version of the logo would be okay too.

I will try to make a 3d version of this, but don't get your hopes up to high.

here is it so far(just a screenshot)

How much do you want me to do? just model? rig? texture? animate?
also can you tell me more about Obviously Marvelous Games?(suggestion try not to use their initials (omg)too much since it might get confused with something else )

As much as you can do.
The main goal is to be able to product a render in PNG with transparent background that we can show on our web page.
But if you can also think of a good animation to put at loading of our games, it would be great (through only the 3D logo rotating should be sufficient)
Obviously Marvelous Games is just a development team that did the game Genetic Invasion.
Some of our members also did a unfinished html5 game : http://mcmic.haxx.es/big-kyooqii/
And some just finished a project resulting in AudioRacer, which we might start advertising about soon : http://projects.haxx.es/p/audioracer/page/Gameplay/

All this information will be on our website as soon as we have the time to put one online.

Hi, you may take this advice or not

The actual result is not quite good.
You need something simpler. Don't be afraid to use only text on your logo, or simple shapes.
You have many diferent chances to take a twist in your brand.

E.G: you've noticed the fun aproach of OMG!
and focus on that give some personality to the letters.
And 3D will not make it better.
Once you have the good one, you can stylize it with 3d, fancy effects, etc.
But if it doesn't work on solid vectorized black and white, it's not a logo, keep that in mind.

So, my actual opinion is that it's not a logo.
The search for a logo starts with pencil and a lot of paper. Draw the mocks, put each approach in a wall, and compare which one is the most visible and transmit what you want. Which one works better.
Then refine it, fix issues on the shapes. And add some color, and then again, compare which color suits better.
Grab some other company logos, see how your logo work with competence.

That's how it's done. If you want a serious logo, you have to make it in a serious way.

I hope my comment were useful.

Cheers, Jorge.
