I favor red and black in the design but I'm not locked into that. I also like the lettering off to the right and the image to the left but again, I'm not locked into that. I've uploaded an icon I was planning to use but have decided that I need to replace the wolf with something that reminds people more of a strategy game. I've also uploaded a competitor's logo. I don't like it too much but the logo does make me thing of a strategy game.

I'm sorry that I wasn't clear enough but the logo with the castle and rook, the one on the left in black and white, is a competitor's logo that can't be copied. The logo on the right, the one with the wolf, is the one I'm replacing.

After looking at these a black background might work as long as it isn't square, maybe a circular or elliptical black background would work.

Just as an update, so far I actually like number 20, submitted by Kruger, the best. The guy with the hood just seems to add a lot, plus I like the fonts used in the lettering.

So many excellent designs, it's going to be hard to choose. I know these are available for sale after I choose a winner so I may pick up another one or two for other uses after the contest ends.

I know I can't make any edits to this text after the contest ends so I want to thank everyone now for making this such a hard decision :) You're all very talented and can do something that I can only dream of doing!

Very talented, produced an outstanding design and was very responsive. Kruger is willing to put in the extra effort needed to get the job done, would definitely use him again.
