Thanks for informing us imason. Appreciate the transparency regarding this

When I used to play HGZS a lot, I'd say the 'Bullet Storm' SMG (P90 Submachine Gun) was my favorite to use. High magazine, decent damage, and an alt. fire mode that allows the gun to shoot two bullets in-burst while aiming down sights. Best of all was that it didn't cost a lot and I could break even and profit from it very easily on congested maps.

This one looks nice. The horns could stand out to look like eyes if you use negative space to cut out sockets at the base of the horns. If you add just a little more spacing between the horns and the loop of the ring (make them a little closer to each other), it could stand out as an actual face + the horns, which would make the logo more visually interesting. At a first glance, though, it looks like an actual face, with the horns already serving as both horns and eyes. Not a fan of this one just because of the little demon and tail inside the loops. I imagine that if you shrink this logo down to a very small size, it's going to look strange and unappealing. It could look fine as a decal or sticker, though. Without a gradient, I think it looks okay, but not as a logo. More like a bumper sticker or decal just because if this gets shrunk down, the teeth are going to merge together. The same logo looked better without the added dots to the eyes and addition of teeth. If I look more closely at this, it looks like the teeth have a border around them, which ruins the illusion of the logo having open pocket spaces.

Biggest issue I have with the new logo design are the horns. Demon horns are curved; those look like spikes, which aren't fitting for what the community's mascot is supposed to be. The base for the looped ring is also something I think is a bit off. Compared to the original logo where the bases of the ring meet up and close at two different imaginary vanishing points, the points on the new logo don't seem to have an end. They just stop at some point, but there's no indication of their conclusion; they just stop, which makes the loop feel incomplete. Huge positive for me though is you added spacing between the loop and eyes on the new logo; the eyes on the old logo could definitely use some more negative space to balance out the space inside the loop. Design-wise, I don't find these two images as attractive for logos - the reason being that in logo design, I believe there needs to be some balance between minimalism and detail. You can't have a logo that's too minimalistic because it would be boring, and you can't have a logo that's too detailed because it wouldn't register well visually. I think both images make for amazing decals though. They could also make for great mascot logos instead of simplified logos if you can give them text and use more colors than just red. Same as what I said above. Even without the outline, the image is still too detailed to stand out as a logo. This makes for a great decal, but without the border, it wouldn't do well for a mascot logo. This stands out more like a logo. Minimal in design, having that smooth faceplate, skull shape and horns, but detailed enough to stand out, with the cuts in the horns, the definition along the cheek bones and forehead, and eyes and nose. Of all the logos you shared so far at the time of posting this, this is the one I like best for a logo. This can even be turned into a mascot with some more definitive details along the horns and face.

I don't play ZS as much as I used to anymore, but I will say this: keep in-mind that Garry's Mod uses single-core rendering. It doesn't run on multiple cores, and when we got the new server box, I don't think it helped ZS as much as intended. Then again, ZS lagged all the time due to the code, not the CPU. I'm no techie, but even with multiple cores, the new processor might not help Garry's Mod run more effectively because of how it is right now. If it does, I would like to be proven wrong.

Love the fiery red and orange lighting in the hard drive case. Looks awesome!
