“Critical Hit” is a show within “The Grind” Webisode series on GameRevolution that focuses on the Latest Gaming News. The title “Critical Hit” refers to that final blow, ultimate hit and killer combo that a gamer utilize's during gameplay to finish off their opponent. The logo is a representation of both.
The concentric circles or wave behind the logotype mimic the seismic boom created from a blast and also represents sounds waves of news being broadcasted. The “C” was stylized with the ripple effect to represent “ground zero” or the origin of the destruction. The balls are particles from the blast representing the chaos of the hit and the notches or "knock-outs" of the text represents the aftermath of the blast. The sans serif typeface was chosen to represent the serious nature of story telling that is the News like that of news headline.
