No. Not really. No more so than logos are a distraction from a movie or TV program. They all have them. They are on your CD's that you purchase to listen to music, on your food packaging, on your vehicle ... on just about everything. If you are this easily distracted, then perhaps you should find out about taking some meds.



And there is a problem with that? All logos are a form of advertising for the company that makes the product. That Nike swoosh does the same thing on the side of someone's shoe. So does that Chevrolet emblem on the back of someone's Camaro. I fire up a modern game and am hit with several logos right from the get go. It does not matter if it is a game made with the Unreal engine or id's latest and greatest, the game engine will be advertised via it's logo. They are all doing the same thing: pushing their product.



Hello? What planet do you live on? The entire purpose of a company is to ... gasp ... make money. That's what they are in business to do. In order to make money, they need to increase sales. This means that people need to be aware that their product exists. A logo at the beginning of a game does just that. If sales of the engine continues then so does development. And continued development benefits all that use the product.

in games produced by big companies you have the logo of the developer team, the logo of the publisher, often the nvidia logo (if physx are used), a logo of the engine (i don't promise that the order is right^^) ... even the rpg-maker has them
anyway .. does it hurt you if you show a logo of the engine for a few seconds?
it will help the developers of our engine so imho nothing speaks against showing it

btw i've just made a good looking logo and am currently working on the animation (...stupid perfectionism i cant let it be as it is until its be best i can do^^")
you can find it here: User Recources / A8 Logo (and sorry for the self-advertising, hope you can excuse this^^)

A product sells itself not the logo! As for money its nothing more than paper to me. The kind you wipe your arse with!

I can't be bothered with your arrogance and sarcastic ways....like most of those that live in this forum. Hence the reason why most never buy or use this engine anymore. Because of so called COWBOYS who think the sunshines out of their so called arses! In my opinion and like many others you can live in this corner of the so called Internet and fester in your own VOMIT for i don't need your bullshit infecting my life! The less COWBOYS in this world the better!!!!!

So you can stick the LOGO where the sun don't shine for i have no need for it!

you're right the quality of a product is essential but what if noone knows about?
you can have the best engine/game ever but if noone knows about you'll never see a cent.
the people have to know that you (your product) exist if you want to sell anything

If money is nothing more than paper to you, why do you even care to create a product with the intention to sell it? And if you don't want to be bothered with answers to your questions, why even ask them? And if you don't like Acknex, what the heck are you doing in this forum?

I'm becoming old with old info, even though I've been only 6 years on the forums.

Flea's a so called troll.

Asked a question.
Ignored the correct answer and made a negative comparison with so called Unity.
Comparison with so called Unity was incorrect (I could be wrong but I think the lack of logo mention in Unity's so called EULA is because the logo at start is automatic and something the user need not concern themselves with).

Flea hates so called logos. Flea doesn't want to spend money so that no so called logo will be shown in so called A8. Same deal for so called Unity. Flea should find another so called engine.

I don't think this so called thread needs any more so called posts. You all know how it goes: Don't feed the (so called?) troll.
