To be honest, that looks more like a road sign about colliding horses than a logo.

What's the logo for? Is there a brand or company name for it? People would probably be able to give you more ideas and inspiration if they knew what the logo was meant to represent.

I have treid to edit it before some'one would posted and or saw it.

It's more like a warning sign with the figure of the horse pointing down to the name.

It's for mine social gaming website, connecting people to each other for more gaming fun.

What has the horse got to do with the company/web site?
What do you want the logo to convey?

I would love to have some 2 arrows pointing to each other under the text but I'm not quite sure about that part for the connection idea.

Having a it look like a sign works if it means "watch out" but then you'd want to be using red or yellow.

I would advise you to flip the horse's silhouette horizontally for to change the movement direction from from-right-to-left to from-left-to-right.

Would adding some kind of stripes near the horse a more faster speed effect to the logo?

Don't mean to be harsh to you mate, but I would strongly consider starting over. As others have already said, it looks like a road sign, and i'm afraid I also don't get how speed connection and horse power has to do with a social gaming website.

Why not have something simple like a Joystick or a game-pad, something which actually resembles gaming. Gaming is supposed to be fun, add some fun and funky elements. Spruse the font up aswell, it looks far too conservative. Have a look at the websites of all the major gaming magazines and try to gauge some inspiration off those.

EDIT: I recall some of your earlier threads regarding racing games. Is that what this site will be related to? If so, go for something like a steering wheel or a gear box. Have a little look on LogoPond too. Loads of inspiration on there to get the brain fluid pumping.

hey guys I have been looking a bit around and I came with this idea.

If I would take the picture left above and redesign that without the rider on the back how would it look like?

A small slogan under it would make more sence.

"We connect you faster then a horse can race".

However I indeed must rethink about the shape of the logo itself.


Maby any more suggestions?

That image of a horse is better however... if my internet was only one horse power it'd be a pretty damn slow connection.
I think you'd be better off coming up with something completely different.
