Haxe Showcase

[Rob Fell]

I totally agree, NME is a "product".  I really like the minimalist
option Michael provides.

As an alternative to diagonals and the seriousness of capital letters, I
offer an option using circles:

I have assumed NME aka "enemy" is game centric?  If not then I'd go with
Michael's without hesitation!

Best, Rob

I like it except the use of namco trademarks in an opensource logo :)

Heinz - I like the blue touch. I think it works well in the ecosystem of haxe - the design is fitting and looks great. 

Michael - I disagree that it is 'crippled' or confusing. hxcpp + haxe are core parts of the compiler. NME is a library - but at the moment very core to the success of haxe on mobile devices. I see no issue in the logos having a stylistic similarity - i would think that for marketing, this is a good thing. 

I find the current logo too flat + serious. I see it takes the faceted elements of the new haxe logo + the colors, and references them, but without creating depth via sudo shadows. I think it lacks character however. 

my 2 cents
