Design a Company Logo

I'm looking for someone to take the attached two logos and bring them into the 21st century. I have no predisposition toward what the end product looks like as long as it's: - Cool looking - Has a final version with both a transparent background and a black background - There is a logo with the full company name and a logo 'NC' like the examples NexusCore is a game development company. Games can be in any genre, so the logo doesn't need to look sci-fi or medieval or anything of that nature. It should look cool, professional, and polished. Beyond that, your creativity is what I'm looking for.
