So, here are a few things I'm not clear on, and maybe others need to know these issues, too:
* Where will the logo be used primarily? (in-game, websites, banner ads, etc.).
* Will it be used in multiple ways? (Where else would it be used, potentially? -- see previous question).
* Which file format, or formats will be required? (.jpg, .tiff, .png, etc.).
* Is an Alpha channel required? (eg; transparent background). If so, which file format (.jpg, .png, .tiff, or another)?
* What dimensional size (width/height in pixels) is desired?
* What is the maximum filesize requirement?
* What textual content is desired or required? (I know it's about 'Carbonite2'/'Carbonite II', but is there more?)
* Are there any preferred colors? (backgrounds, lettering, etc.).
* Are there any preferred or recommended fonts?
* Can, or should it be animated? (eg; animated gif - as used in banners, etc.).
* What other design requirements or preferences should be considered?
Knowing the answers to such questions before the design/creation process begins is of utmost importance.
It's primary places of use will be the ingame splash and website. It also might end up on a t-shirt if I manage to get a blizzcon ticket :P

I would say primary background should be black as jeffy pointed out the ingame display currently counts on that.

It can be any format, tho as mentioned above it's final for ingame will be TGA

No Textual requirements

No animation, since the ingame engine can't use it.

In general i'm giving free reign on colours / text / style ... Carbonite2 will be a new beginning, so i'm not relying on anything from old.
