Last year (around september) I started a videogame website in Peru called Paralax (with just one "L"). Paralax scrolling is an effect used in the 80's and 90's to simulate 3D backdrops (depth) in videogames. My logo had no fuzzy effect (it does hurt the eyes), but shares the same lower-case font (Helvetica) and subtitle location. Kind of simple, but it's good to know is was effective at least.

Its much to heavy on the eyes and it give people the effect of seeing something double. It a effect that have been used by allot of tshirt designers writing hard to read text on a shirt. Also not fitting for a light company , you want use light to make it clear to see things while the logo is less than clear to see. Its a fun design but not for a logo use.

MY EYES!" Hard to believe it one an award, with my glasses off it becomes better. Maybe that how it was judged. Would seem a basic design practice not to melt the eyeballs of the viewer.

This topic of “fake” logo designs has been brought up previously and in my judgement I think it is more beneficial for all to leave them in.

But in saying this, where I can, I do provide information on the logo but in this particular case I have not been able to find any more information.

After gaining more knowledge behind this little number, my opinion still remains the same as before.

Hmm...I agree, so if we're supposed to be rating and commenting on these logos, why not include a summary of this info? And that would pretty much eliminate the logos-without-a-company. “It is quite inaccurate to rate a design properly without knowing the brief, purpose, context, etc however I can relate to your thoughts here as this information has not been provided.”

I have to agree with Corey, as I think this logo is terrible and certainly not worthy of the honor of being here. The only thing interesting is the X... this advanced lighting logo makes the viewer need advanced eyes!

The color is an unpleasant green, and besides being uncomfortable to look at, it would look absolutely horrible on any other colored background. 1/10. Horrible logo in my opinion.

Very good eye, now it's got me wondering too what it means by "advanced lightning". It's a nice logo, but there's way too much vibration going on and it makes the viewer a little nauseous just looking at it. Ben: Interesting observation!

Reminds me of the a comic book villain I used to love. His name was Parallax and he was the ennemy of Green Lantern to make a long story short. I really don't know if it was taken into consideration when designing the logo, the coincidence just made me smile. But alas, as was stated before, prbly won't look good in black&white or when scaled down. which is sad really. Well I like the green being used. Reminds me of the a comic book villain I used to love.

May not scale down well. In saying this I really like the concept behind it, too many logos these days are conceived without one.
