The letters are looking cool with that texture. But the glow over shadows it a bit. Could the glow be dampened a bit, or the letters made bolder?

Yes.  I like it. 

The texture is as you say, a bit over done with the rust, but I think it's shaping up real good now.

I'd love to see the logo, with just the gear behind it, and no plate. Also could you try making the S at the end as large as the T at the start, so I could see how that would look. It might look like crap, but it could also make the logo a bit more dynamic in shape.

Right now the silhouette is asymmetrical like this: o----o-----

Try this: TorchModderS creating this silhouette: o----o----o

Or as an alternative this: torchModders creating this silhouette: ----o-----

This might not look good at all, I just want to see how it would look. It's easier to play with the silhouette with a word like "torchlight" where the first and last letter is the same. TorchlighT

I see somewhere that the color blue it’s imprinted in our brains to mean daytime so if you wanna keep us awake all night… hehe, also I like blue

Looks great. I like the one with gears and ghost effect best. It makes it pop. We should have both with and without the ghost effect though, in some situations it's nice to have a "clean" version of the logo.

Nice work Phanjam!

Hi All.  Here finally are what I hope are good enough to be the final versions of our logo

@Wolven  If these are good, I'll send these to you in several sizes for use on the TM sites,and I'll make us some signature cards as well

Excellent work, Phanjam!
