Logo required for online gambling marketing company

Short Stack Gaming

Short Stack Gaming will be responsible for running a number of websites that generally promote online poker and casino games.

Target Audience generally tends to be the male demographic over the age of 18. Readers of the websites are interested in gambling and have an interest in wagering online.

I'm looking for a clean, sharp design that contains conveys what our company does.

To be honest, I want to try and give you designers as much freedom as possible so I'm not going to go to put too many requirements down here - I'd rather feedback on the designs that I'm given to try and hone what we're looking for.

Having said that there are probably three very general guidelines:

- The logo should stand out clearly and contain the words 'Short Stack Gaming'
- It should convey the nature of the company by including some sort of gaming/gambling theme or metaphor.
- I envisage the logo looking good on a black background and will probably contain dark colours itself.

I'll be checking this contest daily and will provide feedback on all designs submitted. I'm really looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with.

This logo will be used on the web and in print, so I'd like the final design to be sent over in PSD and Vector format please.
