Our logo is amazing and one that we have used for years. Jetrall outdid himself when he made this for the site. We have used it for just about everything that we put our name on and it has become a symbol of DiabloFans. However, just like everything in life, time has passed and change is needed. While we all love our logo, it has unfortunately become outdated. With Diablo III just on the horizon, our beloved Lord of Terror no longer resembles this face that we have come to love and fear. With Diablo's new appearance, we are looking to change ours as well. DiabloFans is looking to update our logo.
Where do you come in? Well, we are asking the community to come up with our new logo. Something that screams both Diablo III and DiabloFans. Whether you just update the look of Diablo or make something completely new, we are open to any and all ideas.
The Rules:
1. Members are allowed to enter as many submissions as they want.
2. The logo must be unique, original and reflect both Diablo III and DiabloFans.
3. The image size should be a minimum of 450 x 200 pixels in width and height. (Please also keep a file with as many layers as you used for future editing)
4. Entries should be submitted in the official submission thread.
5. Entries will be accepted until October 31, 2011.
6. Once all entries are submitted, the DiabloFans staff will vote on a winner for the new logo.
The Prize:
The prize is simple. Your art will be represented on DiabloFans as well as trademark our site on any other ventures made by DiabloFans. The winner will also receive a custom user title reflecting their contribution.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask in this thread. All submissions should be made in the submission thread.
If you are planning on trying to match the current font, it is a mixture of Abaddon and Blade 2 with some custom edits to the lettering.
For inspiration, here are a few pictures of the new Lord of Terror for referencing.

P.S. How have I not seen some of these Diablo concept pieces before!?
(Misposted in the submission thread! I'm sorry!)
People don't like change but they get used to it. :]]

But as of now, it is just not a possibility.
We can't even make ourselves that
Made me pause for a few seconds xD
However, the reward for creating a new one is not enough. I don't care. You should promise the first beta key giveaway to the winner, then I might be interested in pouring in some hours to make a worthy logo.
That said the submissions by Neshil and bc are both quite good, probably prefer bc's as the typography suits the tone of the diablo games.
Although Exocet might not be perfect, I think it's incredibly important that the typography is considered with relation to it's context. I don't feel that your submission of a modern sans-serif suits the gothic mood of diablo, it's probably best to use a serif typeface of at least something with a "sharp" feel to it. Keep in mind I am not at all suggesting the use of novelty/display fonts...
Everyone on our staff works for free of charge with Diablofans. We are all fans here and do it for the fans.
This is an excellent opportunity for up and coming artists.
Yeah, the usual "this is a great opportunity for you, you should work for me for free and the prize will be to have it on my website!"
And as soon as these people go to design/art school their very first lecturer will tell them to vehemently avoid exactly these sorts of competitions. They are exploitive & dishonest at the very very least.
To anyone who takes themselves seriously (playing around or whatever is fine) have a read:
