I like them both, but a drop shadow for the 'United Kingdom' would help it look less flat.

I think this is a really good idea but I think a few elements of this logo look rather tacky. I think that using two different text styles in one logo is always bad, one looks like wordart.
The other thing is the perspective you've used. I think this logo, but square on, and with the full 'UK Cube Association', or simply 'UKCA' across the middle band would be a good candidate for the logo. nice to see someone actually doing one though good job
edit: on second look the perspective is good

The perspective is perfect. It was computer generated
One thing I was thinking is was to have UK vertically on the middle strip (U on top, K on bottom) and have Cube Association on through the middle as it already is.
I'll play around with different options, then just a post a link to the directory

That was my thought as well.
It's great to see the UK setting this up, and I'm looking forward to seeing it developed.

5 Logo options (besides the 2 fail ones posted earlier; I doubt anyone likes those better)

3. Maybe make the blue slightly lighter too.

i vote 3, but really I think we could have a way better more professional logo. simple like the WCA one. no perspective no cubies involved. maybe a square union jack with UK across the horizontal and CA down the Vertical

Honestly out of those 5, I vote for none of them. I think they;re too big and clunky. They look more like site banners than logos imho.

I personally don't like the style of them at all. We don't even need a banner.

They could be scaled down easily.
Daniel said that we needed a logo (not necessarily a banner, but as said above it could be scaled down

I've actually done nothing more than install a template and change the logo

A logo is not a banner. And you completely ignored the fact that I said I don't like it as it is. It is very ugly. Just being honest.

Bold: Did you even read my post
Any other ideas besides what I've already posted? I can do graphics that aren't computer generated, it's just that I had that script from the speedsolving logo
Side note: Feel free to be completely honest about it, if it sucks, tell me (as others already have). I've just been generating large pictures so they are in greater detail, but they will be scaled down later

Just an idea:
Yes, I did just type "UK association logo" into Google. But logos need to be simplistic and memorable and the block/cube idea with that particular logo might be a good starting point for a better cubing logo.
I.e. in the example above perhaps swap UPA with CA and change the colours of the blocks to use authentic Rubik's cube colours. It obviously would need to be completely redesigned to avoid copyright issues etc etc

A logo is square and something small. WCA logo for example is 100x100, which is probably what we would be looking for as well. Yes I am aware you said it can be scaled down, but it is ugly, and it is still a banner. I personally believe that incorporating the UK flag looks extremely tacky and unprofessional and others have also agreed with me. We just want something very simple.
We do currently have a website in development so that is not needed at all. We are tuning it at the moment and making sure it has all the necessities. If we need anything other than a logo we will ask for it.

Something like this?
I was looking more towards having something British in the logo, like the flag or an outline of the UK. Of course, it's not even going to represent me, so I really have no say in it
Would you be interested in something like what is in this post?
