Here's a brief look at some of the various logos that dosgames.com has had over the years. Below are the 'official' logos ordered (roughly) in an oldest to newest order, followed by some of the special holiday logos that have briefly appeared during the Christmas period ... and then there's some ugly prototypes that were never used at all! :)
By the way, the kid giving the thumbs-up in the logo is Commander Keen!

dosgames.com official logos:
The oldest one I could find. I think I probably used Microsoft Word Wordart to make this back in Jan 1999.
Another really old one, used for awhile in 1999.
This would've been made using Xara Webstyle.
Not sure if I ever used this one, but it looks alright. Last from 1999.
An inappropriate font, I'd say. Earliest from 2000 probably.
This one was around for a long time if memory serves me ...
Bland ... not much else to say.
Started to be used sometime in 2001.
This one was used for a long time in/around 2002.
Still looks decent, one of my favorites. From 2003.
The current logo. I think it looks good so I have no real reason to change it :) It's been the site logo since 2004.
dosgames.com holiday/special logos:
The Christmas 2001 logo.
Happy new year 2002! :)
It's Christmas ... 2002!
A well designed Christmas logo for 2003, unlike 2002.
Christmas version of the most recent logo, shown briefly in Dec 2004.
