I like the first one best, I think, but couldn't argue with any of them. I’m not sure, but Viking quest sounds cool (just got finished with a weekend D&D and Magic tournament, good stuff).

There are some great bitmap fonts out there. When we do logotypes in class in a few weeks, you should download a bunch and try out your site title in each! I have a few on my laptop I could suggest.

The red-orange is good but how would yellow look with it? or black? -Gwen I like the game controller, too, but maybe a different color than the beige?

It's simple, but striking with the colors and content. However, I do think you reworking the title would help though.

It seems to connotate an 'about' section of one game, called 'History'. I know that's kind of the purpose of playing with language, but I think a much smaller sub-heading, directly below the title that gives the basic run-down: "your source for history-related games on the web" or whatever would keep the focus. This is just a super-basic idea from looking at your images, nothing serious, I think it looks great overall! (of course, I might just be boring and pedantic... ;) I like the last one, but I wonder about the semantics of ‘Playing History’.

One question I have is whether the red is going to create accessibility problems...? Your illustrious instructor should have some advice on that. Looking good.
