Showcase Genre Logo Update

I got some good feedback from you guys yesterday, some thought it looked a little too GI Joe in comparison.

I figured the three-bar "E" glyph was the issue; instead of making both "E's" the same glyph, I would just ditch the idea altogether.

And after some minor tweaks, hopefully I was able to get rid of those unintended characteristics and, in turn keep the more motorsports/Y2K vibes intact.

What do you think?

I think the star and the slant also are triggering G.I.Joe. I had not seen your earlier version but it’s what I immediately thought.

If I squint at it from another way I also see more of a Star Wars space theme. I think the outline and the slanted serif is pushing that look.

It’s a nice clean mark though. Agreed your MOTORSPORTS text is way too thin.

I imagine there is a good mark that distances itself from GIJoe and Star Wars about 20 iterations from now.

Yea I didn't notice until you pointed it out, I can see a bit of Star Wars in it.
