Doesn't Bruce give those for free?

Once upon a time you could buy a poster and get the T shirt free...

Mel, when designing logos, it's all about clarity and simplicity....If you can clearly read/understand it in very small sizes and in black and white, you are in the right track.

Based on that, in my mind 3 of the 5 logos meet that criteria?

First 3,I`d be happy to wear..
E-bay demands colour,Heritage just needs a little polishing..

It's just a helpful technique, not an exact science  

The emovie logo is the one with more detail, hence it supports less the small size. Each character is in a separate box, with a shadow effect around the character, and lots of details that get lost in small size (the film reel perforations)
The other four, take less time and effort to read. The detail on Heritage's logo (the white oval) is unreadable in small size, but the company name can be read inmediately.

The thing I like most about the Emovie logo,is that each letter is almost like a worn out keyboard..the edge highlights kinda represent..I`ve typed that address so often the letters have become the most used on my keyboard.

Except it is representing a film strip...

It's a good rule of thumb, I have stored it in the memory banks for future use and reference.

The border does represent that,but the logo does n`t...

Mel, when designing logos, it's all about clarity and simplicity. One of the few things I remember from my design student time is a simple method to see if a logo works. If you can clearly read/understand it in very small sizes and in black and white, you are in the right track.
Complex backgrounds, lot of details, textures, pictures, visual effects on tipography, etc are valid resources for other pieces (like ads) but are rarely seen in logos.

True, but MPE is the "underdog" in a relatively small hobby.  The target audience is a few thousand collectors on the Internet and the logo will be used exclusively on the Internet. Why not try something a little more ambitious and less corporate?

Wanna bet? 

(And no I am not betting my Paramount, even tho' I will win the bet!)

That's also a possibility Mel. There are no written rules in design, and ultimately the client has the final word on what he wants to say with his logo.

Same here.
Logos and banners/ads are entirely different beasts.
