How would do you see it working on one line?

Welcome from me too! Glad to have you on board!

I met the guitarist from All That Remains, he's a good lad! Very talented. Welcome.

I REAALLY like it. The only thing is I need to reach a wide audience which is why the logo has to be very simple. By zooming out quite far it's hard to make it out. I've put a project out to tender for Metal Forum to get a huge collection of official Metal Merch for sale on here. Then, we'll do a MF range and FA, if you're up for helping me design some tees and other merch for that I would be most grateful and give you a commission on the sales etc.

I have a Maiden belt buckle, a Motörhead sleeveless shirt... Err, Bob Katsionis' phone number! I'd say this forum is probably the most Metal thing I own, but it belongs to all of us. You guys are awesome.

Let's show some photos! This is my current face hugger. Probably my biggest to date but it's still growing. Funny that.

I think once we have a logo nailed, we'll clean up the header and then get brain storming for a mascot. He / she will need to be a pretty baddass creature!

It's probably a moderator thing, I'll look into it.

I just realised it doesn't show very large. I'll get some bigger versions. The 'M' is a \m/ but it looks like blades and it's an M Also I wanna get us to be able to compete with the likes of Metal Injection and Blabbermouth. So we need to get sophisticated!

Hi Guys, Can I get your thoughts on this logo design i've been working on?

Can you clear your caches in your browser and post a screen shot?

Can you try on another browser? All input helps!

Yes that's good isn't it! We're getting there.

Can you try clearing your caches and trying it on a couple of other devices too? I'll continue to tweak it based on feedback so keep it coming!

Good!

Is the site loading faster for you guys?!

Should all be sorted now but please let me know!

Eating - Nothing Drinking - Nothing Listening - To myself read TLOTR to my sleeping 2 year old. Doing - Reading Thinking - he's asleep now stop reading... (I stopped)

Hopefully between the three it should lighten the load. Tapatalk is now working too :-)

Hi Akonlars, welcome to the forum!

On April 24, former THE IRON MAIDENS and current ALICE COOPER guitarist Nita Strauss was interviewed by Neil Shukla at Cosmopolitan Music Hall (inside Cosmo Music) in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada. You can now watch the chat below. A couple of excerpts follows (transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET).On what it's like to be part of Alice Cooper's "nightmare":"It's not a nightmare, I can tell you that much. It's really… It's been an amazing experience. It's coming up on my first year with the band — it's gonna be our anniversary — and it's been truly an amazing experience. Working with Alice is a dream come true, and everyone in the band has been great."On playing the role of Dave Murray in the all-female IRON MAIDEN tribute band THE IRON MAIDENS:"It's actually a funny story. The other guitar player in THE IRON MAIDENS is my best friend Courtney Cox. And when she originally approached me to be in THE IRON MAIDENS, I said, 'Can I be Adrian [Smith]?' She said, 'No. I'm Adrian.' I said, 'Pass.' [Laughs] And then, a couple of years later, I wound up playing in the band anyway, and I assumed the role of Dave Murray-slash-Janick Gers, so I did a little bit of Dave and Janick. It was a great time. And being Dave kind of gave me the chance to stretch my musical horizons a little bit, play some scales I didn't usually play before. So it was a lot of fun."On what drew her to the world of rock and metal:"I started playing guitar at 15. And I think was the first heavy metal song I ever heard, which was 'Trust' by MEGADETH, that really sparked my love of heavy metal. And ever since then, it was sort of a non-stop train, a non-stop train of heavy metal… crazy train, if you will. [Laughs] And, yeah, I mean, when you feel it, when you really feel a kind of music in your heart, and you know what you're supposed to be doing, it's a beautiful thing. I feel really lucky that I did."On her upcoming solo album:"I'm really excited about it. It's so hard to write a solo album, with the schedule that I have. So a lot of people are asking when the solo album's gonna be released. It's probably gonna be released, at this rate, sometime in, like, 2050. [Laughs] But I'm writing [for] it. I'm really, really excited. I still have to decide if I'm gonna have vocalists on it, or if I'm gonna do an instrumental album. I'm a big fan of instrumental guitar music, so, more than likely, it'll have at least a lot of instrumental tracks. And I'm just really excited to be in the studio and writing again. And writing some heavy stuff." Read more... then come back and comment below.
