Try to use ResetXform (under Utilities panel) on the logo. Sometimes when importing from external programs Max messes up the model's origin point. ResetXform may help.

All I changed in this one was the studio plane texture, I think it looks more dramatic

I've been messing around with some things while the last one was rendering...
I fixed the logo (your suggestion was just what I needed, suvakas - thanks very much; not sure why this one illuded me)
I also brought down the exponent on the chrome material, hoping that it will reduce the high contrast aliasing without having to increase the super_sample_factor... wish me luck.
Barring no more suggestions, I think this is close to finished - I'll set a bigger render to start tonight.
I'll start working on rendering the back tomorrow (question: is a diffuse transmitter what I should use for the lcd display? I've never used this before)
Sebastian, next time I start max, I'll see what I can do about the screenshot and settings.
Here's a quick update on the logo - before/after

Very nice. Hyper-real
Yes, diffuse transmitter if you put a meshlight plane behind it.
Otherwise textured emitter.

Textured emitter is better, I guess...

I think this will be my final for this one - I may do the back at some later date. I have some minor issues that could be better, but I want to start something new - this was just a test scene anyway, not really a portfolio piece. Comments, questions, and death threats are always welcome...
Thanks to all that have helped, I like forums with people who are helpful

Hey noyb...
for my taste you shouldn't hide your details by keeping this image that dark,
also the white light to the right side is totally overblown...
Give Violet a try to tonemap your igi file, and do some fine tuning in your 2D App of choise in the end...
But so far a wonderful picture dude!!!

What are you saying ? It's definitely worth a portefolio !
Looking forward to see your next piece.

Yeah, I guess you're right - I've just felt rather uninspired lately.
Perhaps I'll post this in the final works section.
Thanks for the comments
Is anybody interested in various studio setups? I've been thinking about writing a tutorial.
