Thats the best one yet 
What program do you use for the logos?
I know its not MS paint
I use a very old program called NetSketch that you can no longer buy. I use both NetSketch and Paint Shop Pro together to make an image. I do the basic design using NetSketch and finish it in PSP, it depends on what I am doing. Sometimes I start in PSP and then finish in NetSketch.
Why not just use PSP?
I use MS Paint for drawing all my robot designs and graphics. Im pretty good at it (dont wanna brag butā¦ 
)
Me too,but Iām probably not as good as you
The problem with paint is there is no way to scale the drawings, or dimension them. You would do well by investing a little in a CAD program. I use CorelDRAW! which technically isnāt a CAD program, but an illustration program, but it has some cool features that make it sort of a crossover program. When you have a CAD program you are dealing with vectors. Lines can be drawn and remain editable as objects. There are some relatively inexpensive CAD programs out there. Probably some freeware ones too. Just an ideaā¦
Haha, dont worry, im no going to be doing any logos in MS paint
Er, I think the point was that when you generate a drawing in paint it will not readily scale to a different size without either loosing information or aliasing a ton of artifacts around every line. This is because you are drawing pixels at the original resolution and when you scale up you get pixelation and when you scale it down you get aliasing. With a CAD program the lines and surfaces are vectors that are rendered to a specific pixel resolution. want a different size graphic and it re-renders to the new resolution.
If you are an active student somewhere you can get some of the best drawing/modeling programs out there for peanutsā¦ solid works leaps to mind with a 2-yr license for about $60ā¦ but other less sophisticated programs are also available if you search the many educational software outlet sites on the internet. I really miss my valid student ID these days when I see some of the things offered. 
If I have time tonight, I can take a sreenshot of the vector graphics interface that I use so you can see how it is. It does scale just like a rubber band using the mouse. You can also rotate and sweep objects.
Just a little constructive criticism ā¦ The logo is ok, but itās a little too gray, isnāt it? Some more color/shade variation, maybe some āshiny-nessā, would help.
Thats true, it would be cool to have a variation of one side brushed aluminum fading to the other side of Anodized aluminum. Now that would be really cool! 8)
The original logo is using Swis 721 Blk BT. Some programs call it Switzerland. Itās a more bold version of what you used. Also the Lynxās are pivoted on 10ĆĀ° increments. Sorry, Iām not seeing anything that excites me yet. If you could parhaps try and work it into a black background as the website is. Maybe an embossed effect or something. Maybe try aligning the brushed texture to horizontal.
Okay, Iāll leave the brushed metal to SN96, he seems to have that down pretty well. Heres my try at it.

Went for a glassy metal look (lexan), can also pass off as aluminum. This logo is available without the SES arms as well.
Two words: outer glow
I donāt know, outer glows tend to make things look amateur, especially when used improperly. They are usually either a) overdone or b) look distracting.
Nevertheless, as you requested:
The Lynxmotion logo uses one.
Looks good except the Vampire font.
Yeah and it looks a bit distracting.
Ive been a graphics & motion designer for 6 years so I have my own peeves.
