Spacewhale
We're a small independent game studio called http://www.madglory.com. We make online game services, not games themselves (cloud hosted stuff). Out new product is called "Spacewhale". It will be used by large game developers to power their video games. It provides things like matchmaking, tournament functionality, etc.
I'd like to explore the following colors:
Dark neutrals: Formality, mystery, exclusivity and luxury.
Let designers make suggestions:
A Spacewhale is "a being of immense size and awesomeness" For our use case, it means a giant spaceship or a giant space alien.
We really like the Niantic logo:

Because we're a gaming company, we prefer fun and youthful logos. Our logo will be used in print, online, and on the loading screen of games. We'd like something simple, that works in black and white (and maybe some shade of gray) only. We will animate the logo, as well so that a short video plays an evolves into the logo. Here are some examples of how we will animate it:

As far as concepts go, we have a few ideas for you.
This is my favorite right now: We'd like to see some sort of space ship with a sail, and maybe a whale tail on the sail. Something like this: http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/p…iling..jpg but crossed with the niantic logo (above)
On the silly side, we also like this space narwhal (Narwhals are unicorns crossed with a whale, awesome!).

Another idea is to have some sort of whale with a rocket strapped to his back, like this:

Finally, we're open to any ideas you have!
