What are your thoughts on this?

 

I knocked it up pretty quickly in Photoshop yesterday, but I'm warming to it already. /cc @Leeroy @Mai @grapes

 

 

I think the bottom version could use some smoothing around the curves on the logo part. I'm leaning towards the top version anyway.

I love them!  I wish I could do stuff like that. x.x

but I agree, the bottom one could use a little smoothing around the dragon/hydra.

 

In my personal opinion, I think it would look cool if you connected the hydra/dragon to the border of the icon, but that's probably just me.

Yeah, I definitely need to tidy up that bottom part there. There are a couple other areas that I don't like e.g. the large "nose", so I'll probably tidy them up.

 

I started this as a concept but I'm really happy with the result so I'll work on it more and post it here

I really like the top version. Also, hail Hydra. (How has no one made that joke yet?)

@Kat keeps making that joke when I mention I'm working on it

The bottom one's the best, but they both look good!

I like it. The bottom one has the same shapes with the colours inverted, right? I'd use some other font for the text though.

 

btw, I apologize for the tardiness in sending you the work. I was really caught up with school. I'll try to finish the work this weekend.

Looks pretty good so far. Top version is definitely the better one. The eye is much better drawn to a black background white text contrast rather than the opposite. It takes less focus to actually see. As far as the dragon, I'd change the snout to look a little more fierce, trim it down so it's not so upturned as right now it appears kinda goofy/laughing. I'm not sure what you're going for, though. I would also widen the bottom so the neck is not thinning. It looks mildly decapitated and the hydra should appear like it's going towards a body. I hope I'm not being harsh in my critique - it's well intentioned to try to help out. I can do some corrections myself if you'd like so you can see what I mean

Not at all, this is absolutely what I wanted. I'd love to see if you could do anything with it, I can send you along a PSD with the penn'd shape & the inspiration too if that would help. Thanks!

Kay, so I did some quick work. I tried to keep the original feel for it:

Hey, I like that a lot! I'll PM you about it and maybe we can work together to get something that I can use. Thanks for the help Steph!
