I think the logo is great, but I think it might need a bit of a tweak.
There is an obvious similarity to the d20 logo (which I'm sure is
intentional) in the use of red on a white background in a black box. One of
the primary goals of Trademarks is to keep others from creating misleading
marks that build connections in a consumer's mind between two marks that are
not otherwise related.
I think if you picked a color other than red the obvious similarity would be
greatly reduced. I LOVE the open die though, that's inspired. What about
making the die itself larger, and the text smaller, perhaps just "Open
Gaming"? The die is going to be the recognized portion of the mark.
