Zinovia, please tell the rest of us the name of that font, if you would (for future reference, if nothing more).Some variations on a theme. It's all built in layers so transparency, backgrounds, outlines around the letters, positioning of elements, text, etc. can all be readily changed.
Here's the font that matches the current logo - one with a border and one placed over the current site header bar. I think I prefer this one to Morpheus, but YMMV.

Very cool, thank you!
And I agree, all the submissions were really good and I could see any of them working well here. I definitely think this would be a fun contest to do yearly
Thanks Morrus, and thank you to those who offered other prizes as well - this was fun to do and I look forward to seeing the logo up there for the next year!

Cool, thanks!
Congratulations weem, you've now caused Morrus to have to do 3 years of community work to get your logo to work on the website

Congratulations to Weem for the winning design. I wasn't sure I should bother entering because his entry was so strong. I liked it as soon as I saw it.
As for doing stuff like this on spec, we know we're not getting paid for it. 90% of the design work I have done has been for non-profit and volunteer organizations. So my work has no value anyway.

Each of the entries had different strengths; I didn't hesitate to attempt one because I thought that a broad variety of design concepts would give Morrus a wider field of alternatives to choose from.
My initial concept would not have worked at all, because it calls for dynamic new art: characters peering out from within the borders of the letters "E" and "N". My own art skills are weak, so I would have had to learn to draw first. An example of the idea should appear below, using "borrowed" art.
Unfortunately, I don't own the art; that's taken from PA! Gabe's drawing of Gnasc the Gnoll, peering out from within the (bolded) lowercase Evanescent e, made transparent. (I hope I did that right.)
Equally unfortunately, any effort to reduce the image to a smaller size more in keeping with a more customary logo would trash the resolution, ruining the effect.
Also unfortunately, I was at a loss for what characters to use in the first place. Initial thought: an Elf and a Nymph, representing E and N. (Or an Eladrin and a Noble might work. Elephant and -- what, Ninesaucerworst? -- would be far too large.)
Thanks for the font name, Zinovia! Also congratulations to weem: that was certainly deserved.Evanescence
