Nice that we're deiscussing GoW logos again.
I tried someting similar a while back (see
this link).
The second image in this first post I like best, but agree that it would be best slanted (though that might require a little redesign of the logo). I'm a bit thrown off by the yellow/gold in the first one. The silver/white in the second one actually makes the red stand out well, and also gives a bit of an "open" feeling.
One day I ran through the cleft for the fiftieth time, and found that uru held no peace for me anymore.
