I think a touch of color would be really nice, light blue or red. Maybe on the eyes?
Other than that I think that duo tone that you do on the text could come out a little more, maybe 10-15%
Looks great!

Less caps in title please!!!!!

The quirky little lines make the logo look shoddy or rough. If you look at most logos, they all have thick, continuous lines. This is for instant recognition and appeal. Jarred lines make the user focus too much on the image. You want people to be able to ignore the image so it settles comfortably and smoothly onto whatever it is placed on. This means either a very simple logo (just words in a certain font/ color) or a simple design without too many distinct straight lines, and more rounded edges or solid objects. Think of NIKE, WWF, LEGO, Olympics, Internet Explorer or Chrome logos. None of them have minute intricacies, but instead rely on separated, bold colors.
good logos: burger king, HP, facebook, apple, Recycle, 7UP, Batman's symbol
examples of mediocre logos: Firefox, Redbull, Starbucks, Superman's symbol
I like the general idea, but could use some refinement imo.
tl;dr: be bigger and bolder, and avoid jagged lines.

I got you, and I've been struggling to find this balance between corporate and recreational since the beginning.
I'm thinking I can use the controller itself as an addition to the text and the text mainly for more corporate endeavors.
Using both, on posters and designs like I've done here in this example, if I want some sort of Iconology :D
Does this sound logical to you? The text I believe works as a standalone as well.

also edited the title to make you sound less like a 10 year old while i was at it, free of charge!

Thank you. I'll definitely keep working on this. My intent is to have the final logo finished by month's end.

I think the controller might look better if it's not entirely pitch black but rather a very very dark shade of grey, or slightly gradient.. Right now it looks kinda copy&pasted. Other than that the logo looks great.

Thanks for your input, I am in agreement. I will work on that center portion.

hmm yea the text by itself would look pretty professional, whereas the controller looks better on a tshirt or something. good idea
