After trying quite a few different ideas and variations on those ideas, we have settled on the final logo for Earth Eternal. I probably spent too much time on this but it was fun.

MMO Subscriptions vs. Free to Play
Saturday, October 4th
Dan Miller has a post up talking about subscription vs. free-to-play, and concludes conclusively that one can make more money with free-to-play/virtual asset sales than with subscriptions. Raph referenced that post as well, stating that the graphs Dan includes in his post demonstrate why a microtransaction model ends up hitting a far larger market than […]
Real Pain in Games
Friday, October 3rd
This is pretty cool. It’s a vest you wear that’s filled with pneumatic air capsules that “simulate” being hit by bullets or punches while you play a game. I realize it’s not for everyone, but I like the idea of feeling some pain when I’m shot/punched/stabbed/etc in a game. It’s one reason I like paintball […]
I’ll Pay You $10,000 for a Great Engineer
Wednesday, October 1st
Yep. I will literally pay you $10,000 for referring us a great engineer that we hire (we being Sparkplay Media.) The big caveat is that he/she either be in or willing to move to the San Francisco area, as this is an in-office position. Yes, it’s that hard to hire good engineers and time is important […]
McCain Wants You To Sit In Traffic Gridlock
Friday, September 26th
The man wasn’t wearing a flag pin during the debate tonight. What kind of patriot is that? That’s basically just one step away from burning our beloved flag. Kind of makes you wonder if the Vietnamese got to him all Manchurian Candidate-style. You know, weaken American by getting politicians to stop wearing little pins on […]
Dual Currencies in MMOs
Thursday, September 25th
Scott Jennings has a post up about gold-farming and how to mitigate against it (since you can’t stop it). It’s generally a good read, and he references the work I’ve done at Iron Realms in setting up a dual-currency exchange back in the late 90s. (Those currency exchanges remain very popular features in our MUDs.) […]

Jeremy’s going to be disappointed that there are no swords involved. You should get some publicity with the hippies by having a bunch of t-shirts printed with the logo and paying people to wear them while chained to trees that are scheduled for logging.

I really like this image; the colors (being from Oregon) are very appealing and blend nicely.
Being unfortunate to be only on 56k atm, I has the title show up before the image did and with the name ‘Earth Eternal’ I was almost going to think of seeing a circle image, instead of the diamond. Again, I think this is a nice logo and very easy and appealing on the eyes.

If you send me a shirt with this on it, I’ll wear it, Matt

Heh, send me one too. I’ll wear it to work at AOL. I’m sure that’ll garner several weird introductions to your future endeavors albeit probably better to wait till there’s something to introduce them to.

I just wish I had just an ounce of talent in graphics that images spews from it. Always been an area of life that has run as fast as it could away from my hands. I can dream up some sweet things, but my hand will never follow my brain.
I will thrid the notion, that I would buy a shirt with the logo on it and wear it.

Oooh. It’s gorgeous. And it’s a nice mixture between “Web 2.0″ and “standard RPG” work. Kudos!

I’d wear that shirt to work.
